Final Course Reflection
I have really enjoyed this class. Every activity that we did in the class will help me when I begin teaching. I have learned many different techniques when using technology. I would say that my strong points are creating new things and my weaker points would be working with the assistive technology. I believe creating things is my strong point because I love making unique things. I believe students like things being different. It gives them a challenge. My weak point is the assistive technology because I am not familiar with those programs. I had difficulty maneuvering through the different programs. I will work on improving my knowledge with these programs. Assistive technologies are very important when you have a student with disabilities. The assist with the students different needs. I plan on integrating as much technology as possible into my classroom. Technology is something that students need to be familiar with these days. I will make sure that I use some sort of technology based product each day in the classroom. I hope to say up to date with technology. In the future, I plan to be very technology savvy. I want my students to be able to use the computer without any help.

I agree that working with the assistive technology was difficult. I had never worked with that before, but I do plan on becoming more familiar with it because I will definitely have to use that in my classroom one day.
ReplyDeleteMy weak point was also working with the assistive technology assignment. It was a very different breach on technology I had never seen before. I would definitely agree that you are very creative and that is definitely a strong point of yours. I never realized how important technology is until after this class. Great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThe assistive technology was very difficult. I think it was because of how different it was and the fact that most people have never had to work with those kinds of programs so it was very unfamiliar. I'm sure we will be thankful for learning how to work with it in the future!
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of you that the assistive technology section was the most difficult to grasp. I believe it was because there are so many ins and outs to a computer that I was not knowledgeable of. However, this course has definitely educated me and enabled me to be much more computer literate.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you about the assistive technology assignment. I had to ask for help a lot more on that assignment than any other. After taking this course, I feel that it will be a lot easier for us to use now than before.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you talked about the assistive technology. It is very important that all teacher now what this is and how it is used in the classroom. Also, I like how you stated at the end of your reflection, how you want your students to be able to use a computer by themselves.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy creating things as well. Creating the worksheets and puzzles were fun and I believe students would enjoy solving and completing them as well. The assistive technology assignment is very important because students with disabilities or impairments will always be in classrooms and it is important for teachers to know how to adapt certain technologies for them.
