What did you learn??

I feel like I have learned a lot in the ways of technology.  Before this class, I was hesitant to use technology.  I could pick up and Ipod or Smart phone and know what I was doing but to actually use something on my computer that a whole class of student would be watching was a little scary to me.  What if the technology didn't work?? What if I messed up?? What if the kids were bored?? What if the kids didn't understand??  After this class, I feel like I have answers to those questions and I also feel "OK" knowing that I will not always have the answers to my questions about technology.  There are always going to be times that it doesn't work the way that I want it to, duh it's technology!

In the future, I see myself using more technology in my lessons and in my classroom.  I also see myself taking my class to the computer lab and not just sticking them on some website to play a game but actually teaching them how to work something or how to use something that they may have never used before.
