1. What are your favorite tools you now have in your personal technology toolbox?
I really enjoyed photostory. It was fun taking the pictures and adding them to the site, composing my story and adding music. My computer and I had a disagreement about adding it to my blog. I think students would enjoy this. I also enjoyed wordles. Flickr lets you feel creative, especially as I developed one for my blog title.
2. How have you transfomed your thinking about the learning that will take place in your classroom? I think this technology will enchance learning. Students are around technology all the time and because they are so accepting of it, they will learn from it. I know that I will have to work to keep pace with what they will be doing.
3. Were there any unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you? I was not sure what to expect and at times was a a bit overwhelmed (still am in some cases) but the more I went forwad the better it became. I was amazed by the amount of technology that was available. I am enjoying the learning. I look forward to using this with instruction.
I agree with your comment about kids being accepting of technology - they are fearless when it comes to learning new applications. It hasn't been such an easy ride for me but I'm still plugging away at it and celebrating every little success along the way! Congrats to you for completing all 11 Tools - looks like you're ready to rock and roll for next year!
