Over the last few years I've attended a couple of technology conferences and for the most part I was really disappointed. Perhaps it is the way that I learn, but I always left feeling like it was a big waste of time. It was nice to see and hear about technologies from different companies or teachers, but most of the sessions just didn't appear applicable to me. Maybe I was overwhelmed with information or underwhelmed when the session names sounded more interesting then the actually sessions. However, I suspect the biggest problem was me.
Which is why I've enjoyed this class so much. This class has given me the opportunity to experiment with some really exciting stuff that didn't require me to have a computer science degree. Even our textbook has been great at explaining how easy some of these services are to get started with. I've loved the links to working examples of how other teachers are using technology with their students. It's been really beneficial to be able to explore and interact with what they are doing. I can't wait to see what we'll be able to bring to the table after taking this class.
