Reflection #5

For a blog post that is labeled Reflection I thought it would be clever to reflect on this last half of the semester as it has related to my increased knowledge of technology in education through this class. Honestly I have learned a lot. Though that statement is vague it is the truth. Blogging has always been something I have wanted to do and though this blog is required for the class learning how to set one up and maintain it will be extremely beneficial to me in the future. I definitely plan on having a classroom blog when I become a teacher, which was something I had never thought of before. Blogs provide a great platform to display up-to-date information in a technologically advanced world. I have also found other technology that we have utilized in class extremely helpful; learning how to use a Smart Board and discovering new websites to help our teaching to name a few. Before this class I did not realize all the resources that were available via the Internet, and I know that in the future I will use other teacher's blogs, videos and lesson ideas to enhance my own teaching. Overall, I have learned many new things about the technological aspect of teaching and look forward to this continued learning and discovering for myself and my future teaching career.
