This course
has taught me a lot. Some of the more valuable and relatable items that I will
be taking from this course are as follows:
VoiceThread
– I’m not sure that I would have come across this had it not been for this course.
I love this tool, as I did my RUP on it. I plan on using it in my Spanish
classes as well. Hopefully I can even talk some of my Spanish IV students into
commenting on my RUP.
TedTalks –
So, I knew these existed, but even since we had to watch several for the course
I have become hooked.
Symbaloo – I
will be using this on both a personal and professional level.
Curation
tools – This is a useful idea that I had never come across. I plan on
incorporating assignments in which I have curated resources for the students into
the classroom most likely with cultural activities.
Blogger – I
loved using this, and I would love to find a way for students to use it as
well. (blocked at school)
PLNs – I am
encouraged to work on building my own, and I plan on using the step-by-step
article to help me to accomplish that.
Overall,
although I don’t teach an online course this class was very applicable. I
really enjoyed the chance to learn about incorporating technology into the
classroom.
I too had heard about Ted Talks, but I only found time to watch the few that popped up in my Newsfeed. I enjoyed listening to them, and it was definitely helpful to listen to them with a context for discussion in mind, rather than just to hear them. Also, I think I can safely predict that there will be more VoiceThread in both of our futures!
