What I Have Come Away With After EDM 310

Between my blog, the presentations we did, working in Google docs, the Comment for Kids assignments, and being introduced to Foliotek, I have truly come away with a substantial amount of new and useful information. I enjoyed the Comment for Kids assignments the most because I felt like I was really making a difference in those kids' days and their outlook on learning. My blog has actually been fun to keep up with and share my ideas and opinions. My very first podcast was created this semester and I must say I really enjoyed making it! At first I was a little nervous, but eventually I saw that these were useful because you can communicate and receive opinions on all different types of subjects. When I initially chose Education to be my major I did not think about how important the role of technology advances would play a part in it. Luckily, after taking this class I know the importance of it. It was extremely exciting to be able to skype with people and students around the globe! I really loved doing that and I feel like it was great motivation. I plan on researching new technology advances and sharing what I find on my blog. I will definitely keep that maintained so that I can continue to communicate with other students and helpful resources. I definitely feel like I am "tech literate" and I am thankful for that because initially I didn't even see the importance of it!
