The assignments for this course have prepared me to be creative in lesson plan design for the future.  I do not currently teach in education, but I am a coach.  While coaching athletes I feel like I am educating them more so than actually coaching.  Everything in athletics is a learning process much like in the classroom.  I enjoyed the use of the web quest.  I believe it allows students to be able to do a project that involves research, organization, technology, creativity, cooperative learning, and leadership.  Blogging is also another resource to use for students in today's society due to the extreme use of technology and social media.  This course provides students with ideas for lesson plans to incorporate technology in the classroom.  This is so important because of the dependency of today's students on technology; now we can prepare them for their future and careers.
