Technology in Classrooms

Although I agree with the use of technology within the classroom I am in full support of a solid educational basis being applied before confusing students with technology.  A strong base of the basic understandings of the lesson being taught is essential for students to be able to build their learning on with the use of technology.  I hope we never get to the point of using only technology and quit using good, old fashioned lecture to teach our students the various subject areas covered within a school system.

Great Eye-Opening Class

Dr. Rubin has helped me to open my eyes to the advances and uses of different technologies within the classroom.  I was very intimidated by this class at first, and thought about dropping but I am glad I stuck with it. This class has become so beneficial to me in that it exposed me to various technologies available to teachers, and students. I would recommend this class to anyone who needs exposure to technology use within any classroom.

All good things must come to an end...

I am so grateful for this class and I have learned so much! I have loved reading other blog posts and since we are teachers it is so easy to relate to each other. Teaching is a profession that I believe you must be "called" to do. It takes special people to do what we do. I am by no means saying that I am special, but I respect and adore any and every teacher!! This has been a great experience and Dr. Rubin has been absolutely wonderful. This is also my last class for my Masters!!!! I am beyond excited, relieved, and happy to be close to the end... just makes it a little sad when you have such wonderful teacher and classmates! I hope everyone takes what we have learned and apply it to our classrooms to help enrich our instruction for our students! God Bless You All!!! :)

EDUC-573B

This course was very useful and informative, it deals with some of the core aspects of student learning with technology. I enjoyed the textbook (Blogs, wikis, podcast) and will surely use it as my guide to implement what I have learned into the classroom. This was a great opportunity for learning!!!!

Enjoy Reading Posts!

In addition to all of the great things I've learned in this class and the ways I have used new types of technology and plan to continue using them in my classroom, I have really enjoyed reading my classmates' posts!  I love to read about ways that my peers are utilizing the new types of technology that we've learned about in this class.  It gives me ideas and inspiration.  I really love our class blog, a little network of teachers learning from their peers and sharing ideas.  :)
