Today marks a special day not only for this technology class, but for my personal and professional life as it is the last day of my masters program, ever. I am proud of my accomplishments, but more than that, I am just so so happy to finally move on to my own classroom! This has been what I've been working so hard for and paying so much money for, and I pray to God that it works out.
As for my reflections on technology and education, I feel that technology will always have the potential to do help us learn better, make the environment around us more accessible, push creativity and imagination beyond its boundaries, turn us into robots... JK on the last one, but who knows? In the end, it is our human use of technology that will hurt or help us, and as teachers it should be our goal to keep up with advancements like Web 2.0 tools, AAC technology, smart software like SmartBoard and Kurzweil, and just plain ol' cool things. I learned a lot this semester, this year and a half in general, and I cannot wait to bring to my best abilities all the tools and strategies this class and my time at TC has given me to my new classroom.
