What I Now Know As A Result

     This course has helped me to develop technology skills as a professional teacher in a multitude of ways.  One of the most effective activities of this course was to allow me to walk a mile in my students' shoes in terms of learning new technologies and collaborating with others through technology.  It is no small feat to coordinate efforts with others remotely and navigate new technologies in order to use them effectively for an assigned purpose.  I can now empathize with my students and have learned that the most effective way to teach my students new technology is to immerse myself in it.  If I engage in these activities along side my students,  I will be better able to pinpoint where they will need me most in terms of instruction.  Additionally, this course afforded me the opportunity to work not only with new technologies (Podcasts) that I never delved into before but also allowed me to see how I may have not been using other technologies (Blogs, Wikis, etc.) to their fullest and most effective potential.  My approach to the proper use of technology has been transformed as a result of this course.

Here is the link to the podcast I created.  Wow!  Was this a challenging task!  Audio-editing is no walk in the park.  I have a new found respect for podcasting.
