Final Reflection

For those who did not know before, this blog was part of a project for my Educational Technology class at Albright College.  I walked into Educational Technology with no real understanding of what I would be learning.  I thought it would be months of SmartBoards, but instead I learned so much more (though SmartBoards were included).  I learned how to utilize technology I already understood, but how to use it in the classroom and how it could be modified for student-learning.  I learned brand-new technology like Diigo, Glogster, and a plethora of other websites that I will definitely use in the future.  I learned how connected teachers are.  There are millions of resources out there already created and shared for free.  There are online educational videos and social networking sites to connect teachers across the world.  I don't know how much I will use the technology learned here in my day-to-day life, but once I am in a classroom, I will use it all the time.  And that's the point; educational technology is so much more than a multimedia class.
