Tonight: I want to ensure you understand all that needs to be complete to be finished with the course. I will be checking TaskStream narratives and/or giving you time to write them in class. Remember to use your Inspiration graphic organizer to help with the artifacts you will be using.
What else? I have given everyone a grade for all of the hard work you did using the Google tools throughout the semester. Ensure you submit a link to your iMovie PSA and turn in the checklist if you haven't already. Also, you will be submitting your Emerging Technology checklist. In Cougar Courses, I have an assignment titled, Attendance and Participation. Please go there and complete the short reflection withing Moodle. The course evaluation should be in your email. Please complete the evaluation. If possible, I would like to have proof that you completed the evaluation before the end of class tonight.
Based on the lukewarm response to my offer to show you how to use Photoshop, I wanted to provide you a sample of something you could do with the program. My daughters are in the picture above that was taken during a soccer tournament in Coronado! Anyway, with more time . . .
I think the best thing I will take away from this course is the knowledge to be able to obtain information that will make me a more effective teacher. Being able to collaborate with other educators and learn from their experiences will benefit me, especially in my first years of teaching.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing I will take from this class is the confidence to use digital tools and applications of technology effectively. I have learned so much from this class and used digital tools I have never even heard about. I learned how technology is an innovative way to enhance student learning. Lastly, I learned the importance of networking and collaborating with fellow educators and social networking sites. I am excited to include what I have learned into my future curriculum. I
ReplyDeleteThe best thing that I will take from this class is the new ideas and techniques to apply in my future classroom. I never before found the importance of using technology inside the classroom until I took Ed422. I am excited to apply my new "skills" as a teacher but also as a student and life long learner.
ReplyDeleteThe experience with the web. Never before have I had to do so much with the world wide web. One thing I will take away is that the web is in a primary stage and still growing web 3.0 here we come. I'll definitely be using the Prezi with other presentations. Great class I wish I could retain all.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing that I will take away from this course is that I now have a vast knowledge and confidence of how to use many of the digital tools that we were introduced to thourghout the course. I will definetly use many of these digital tools in my future classroom and to show my peers and friends as well.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing I will take away from this course is a greater appreciation of technology. I am excited about being able to use the tools I have learned about in class. I have also been converted to a mac user. Over the break I am going to learn all I can about my new MacBook Pro. Thanks Jeff!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing I will take away from this class, is that there really are classes beneficial to my learning and that will help me in the classroom, all my other classes I have never really tried because there was no reason to try! This class was fun and definitly one for the books I wish I had the time to take it again ahhahha Thanks for a good semester Professor!
ReplyDeleteI think that the best thing i will take away from this course is everything! especially delicious and twitter and the blog, all three of which i fought so much agaisnt i now love them and enjoy reading everyones tweets and new posts. I think just learning about how to obtain everything that was out there will be the biggest thing i take from this class.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing I will take with me from this course is all the technological knowledge I gained throughout the semester. It has been such a fun class and I learned a lot, from how to make a movie to using new programs for presentations, like Prezi and Inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThree of best things I will take away with this course is one knowing that if I don't know the answer I don't have to be afraid to look for it. Knowing how many different options are out there I know that I can look for it, find it, get a tutorial, and learn how to use it. Two is patience. I know how frustrated I get trying to help my parents and I think Jeff's taught me to be patient because teaching someone the tools to succeed feels a lot better than getting angry. Lastly, I learned to not be intimidated by macs. Before this course they were one of the scariest pieces of technology to me. Now I kind of want one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeff!
The best thing I will take away from this course is the knowledge of the various ways I can integrate technology into the classroom. Although I cannot say I have mastered anything, I did get the basics down and I know how to find tutorials if I need them. I will be able to use all of this knowledge to enhance student learning in the classroom when I am a teacher.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing that I will take away from this course, is pretty much everything I have learned which is all the assignments. I have found a lot of the material and assignments to be helpful in pursing my career as a teacher. Before this class, I thought of technology as a stressful thing to deal with, and after taking this class, I have learned technology as a tool, not only for my personal life but my educational career.
ReplyDeletethe best think I will take from this course definitely has to be knowledge. Even though Im not doing good in the class I have learn so much since I came into the class with barely nothing.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing I will take from this course is how many different applications and programs I've learned about that I have already used and will continue to use in my future classes such as GoogleDocs, Prezi, and Delicious.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing i will take away from this class is if I don't know how to do something there will be a video on youtube to show me :) I learned a lot in this class and the best tool was probably all that google has to offer. I actually am currently using googledocs in a class as we speak to work on a group paper. Also, I learned how to make technology available to students in the classroom and how to incorporate it in an effective manner and at an appropriate grade level.
ReplyDeleteSpecifically, PREZI! I just used it for a class presentation and it went over very well. I had people come up to me afterward and ask how they could make a presentation like that. (I embedded the Prezi on my blog, even though my original presentation was with PowerPoint.)
ReplyDeleteOn a more general note, I feel SO confident using the tools we learned in class. I can't believe how much I learned in just four months. My link list on my blog keeps getting longer because I have to add the latest cool thing that you showed us. I've also found that I'm teaching other people about these tools - my family and people in my other classes. I've explained Twitter to at least three people now! I have a better understanding of the value of Twitter, Delicious, and blogs as a way to contribute to the educational community. Overall - great class! Thank you!!
The best things that I will take from this course are the assignments we did in class. Now, I feel more prepare to use technology in my class. I have new ideas and techniques that I will be able to implement with my students. Overall, this class was awesome: funny and interesting. In this course, I had the opportunity to gain a lot of knowledge that will help me to become a better teacher. Thank you professor for your great enthusiasm and for caring about your students.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :) Hope to see you again.
The best thing that I will take away from this course is the overwhelming amount of technology tools and resources that anyone can use. Some of the assignments I struggled with, but for the most part they were a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteThere are many things that I will take from this semester. I have learned many ways to make my life easier in the technology usage. One of the main things are embedit, prezi, igoogle usage and links, google docs, sites. MANY!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing I will take are all the new resources and programs that we used. Many of them were ones that I have never heard of, and found very helpful to incorporate into a classroom. I now have more knowledge of how to use technology and can turn my teaching into something fun and creative.
ReplyDeletei will take with me, the technology tools, and the taskstream narratives as I will have to complete more of them in the credential program!
ReplyDeleteI have finally learned how to use mac computers and things like twitter and delicious, which are sites I never wouldve gone to before this classroom. I think I feel more capable of being on the internet to do school work and create sites, etc.

ReplyDeleteThere are many things I will take away from this course including the imovie, newsletter, prezi, and wiki. I really liked learning about all the free things we can use from Google such as sites, documents, presentations etc. I liked learning how to locate so many useful resources that can help me as a future educator.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to take a lot away from this class: new friends, creative tools, and PLN. I learned how to use some really cool programs like iMovie and Prezi. The importance of creating my PLN is also a big thing.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing that I will be taking away from this course is the new technology know-how that I can use as a student and a teacher
ReplyDeleteThe best thing that I will take away from this class is the all around improvement in my skills with technology. I know how to link and embed things now!! I also know how create a website!!!Thanks for your help Jeff!!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing I have taken away from this course is delicious, twitter and my PLN. I plan on using these tools now and in the future because I was shocked at the wealth of information that is so easily accessible at your finger tips. I want to use these resources for future projects and interests I might have. Thank you for teaching me so many valuable things and for your constant enthusiasm, even though we were like crickets at times.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing that I am going to take from this course is feeling capable of doing things on the computer. I am much more comfortable now, and if I can't figure something out, i just have to Google it, and will most likely find a tutorial.
