End of Semester Reflection

I have enjoyed looking into new technologies this past semester. I would admit that without the requirement I probably would not have looked into most of them. Now having had the opportunity to try out such a variety, I feel better equipped to teach. With the advancement of technology happening so quickly, it can be difficult to keep up, however it is more important than ever. I can see how well children would respond to incorporating some of these technologies in the classroom. I can only hope that the district I end up working in is fortunate enough to be able to afford some of the more expensive things. Of course, there are many that are simply available to those that are looking for them. For example, the Wonderwall is free and an incredible way to get children involved in their learning. Something like a Smartboard of course would taking funding, but also an interactive tool. Overall, this class has been a great benefit to my teacher education.
