I do not intend this to be my last post. I enjoy blogging, and now that this assignment is over the restrictions are lifted. I feel that I have the freedom to say and write about whatever I want to and incorporate this into my teaching career, education, and personal life.
This program has affected my lifelong learning goals because it truly made me realize the importance technology has and will continue to play in our lives. Technology is not only important in our own personal lives but the lives of our students as well. As a teacher it is important that we are able to connect and relate to what our students are learning, not only at school, but at home, in the media, and in technology.
There are so many wonderful resources available to teachers that we have no excuses. I don't want to ever make my students sit through a "boring" class I want our classes to truly be learning experiences where they LOVE what they are learning and find it fascinating and interesting. I think that the internet and technology is making that possible!
I will keep up with developments in web 2.0 but using the websites and resources I have learned here on this very blog! I will check in with the teacher social media networks I have joined. I will use Feedly, Facebook, and Pintrest to browse teacher and education groups. I can simply Google developments in web 2.0 occasionally and I know that the newest technology will be the top hits that I should check out. I can even come back here to this website and see what new assignments you have for students to accomplish!
Not only will you have the tools from this class, there will always be something new and fun in technology. Just keep looking for it. : )
