As I sit here and finish up my technology portfolio, I think about all the things we've completed over the course of the semester. For a two hour class that meets once a week, I'm amazed at the amount of information we've covered and the number of things I've learned how to do. This is knowledge that I'll be able to use in my classroom, but it's also knowledge that I'll be able to use in the rest of my life as well. I'm very excited to continue my exploration of technology and the projects/lessons/assignments/fun things I can complete with it.
I will, of course, remember the frustrations and heed fair warning on trying anything too ambitious too soon, especially with my students. I also sincerely hope that the class wiki and toolkit pages are never removed from the internet as I have a feeling I will be lost without them. There's a lot of information to synthesize in one semester, and while I feel much more adept at using technology, I will need a reminder and helping hand every once in a while.
Thanks, Curby, for doing what you do! I'll most likely be in touch from Africa next year asking how to do something new (or even something you taught us that I can't remember how to do!) I look forward to taking all of the practices and ideas you've given us and using them with my students. Teaching has never looked better! (or loomed closer!)
