EDUC - 6712I-5 Reflection post

As the 8 week class comes to an end, I have learned much and grown as a teacher.  My students will be experiencing a large change in make up.  The most striking change I would have is in the area of ease.  I created a unit plan for this classroom and it was very easy to do and integrate.  I thought developing a unit with new technology literacy would be very hard but it was not.  It has the same challenges that any unit has but added upside in the that the students learn new skills.  These skills relate to 21st century job skills.  

I will use this skills I learned here to not fear new technology in the future.  I would like to make things like wikis, jings, voicethreads, and webspirations.  All these things will be used in my classroom in due time as I gain more confidence.  This will help my student learn and show more growth.  

I have one professional goal that relates to this class and that is in the two integrate two new technology in the classroom.  Another goal is to complete a grant to try and win money for a smartboard.  That would really take my teaching to the next level. I would like to get this to improve from the chalkboard to the smartboard would be great.  I could really make a great impact on learning.
