I learned a decent amount about technology in this course. Before this course I only knew very basic things about technology. There are things I learned that will most definitely be beneficial for my future classroom. I had no idea what a wiki was before GNA's class and I am glad I got to learn more about it in this class because I think it is something I would use as an agenda/resource/discussion space for my students. As a high school student, I do not remember having too much technology involved in my classrooms but in today's world I believe it is necessary to implement technology of all kinds in the classroom because technology is moving fast and I feel like my students may even know more about it than I do because it is a huge part of their generation. It is vital to move with the times.
The only thing I probably would not use is the Voki. I might use it myself for my wiki but I don't know how I would get my students to use it. I did not see this as an instructional tool but you never know how it could be incorporated and it was fun to create if anything. I do feel more comfortable moving forward with technology and hope to learn even more. I appreciated learning the different technologies available for students with disabilities. This answered quite a few of my questions.
Overall, I thought the class was really fun. It was both educational and a good time. I had a great time working with my group on the video and editing it as well...and I had a really interesting time creating the different projects like the SMARTboard activity and learning about the different technologies available in and for the classroom.
