End of Course ~ Reflection

This was a great course. I found it challenging, engaging and relevant. (It makes me realize once again how important it is to have students feel this way about their own educational experience. ) I particularly liked United Streaming, YouTube, TeacherTube, image generator, Flickr, Google Map, blogging, Data Site... I agree with Peg that it might have been nice to have one or two face to face meetings, even if it would have been simply to share what we have created and brainstorm uses in the classroom. Also, I don't think I was as interactive with the other participants as I could have been. Perhaps one or two tasks which were explicit about going to another person's blog and commenting on their entries would have helped. I know that some of the other people (thank you Keri!) did this more than I did. Thanks for all of your support and help. You guys were awesome!!

Congratulations on completing the course! I am glad that there were some things that you found useful.

I am sure that those of you who have completed this project feel relief to be done with it, but I admit to being sad each time someone completes the class; I hope that we will all continue to seek out and share new technologies with the rest of this community that we have started.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful participation - I very much enjoyed following your blog and your perspective on each new tool.

Jan- I love seeing the blogs you have created for your classes. Are you going to have them blog as well, or just check for homework and comment, etc.?
