I am really glad that I took this course. At times this course was exciting, and it made me feel renewed and energized! Other times, this course made me question why anyone would want a computer in their home! Overall, though, the positive outweighed the negative. I now feel much more equiped to deal with new technology. After taking this course I do not feel as intimidated by new technology. I am more willing to give things a try.
Some of my favorite parts of this course were learning about Flikr, Google Docs, You Tube, Podcasts, making the movie posters, and of course, having a blog! I absolutely love having a blog, and I am looking forward to continuing with my blog outside of this class. I have some secondary students that are on my caseload at the high school that I need to consult with. I think I would like to create another blog just for that purpose.
I know that I will need to go over my notes, and if possible, watch some of the instructional videos again (how long do we have access to 23 things?) because this technology stuff still does not come naturally to me, like it does with some people. That is the most frustrating thing about technology...if you don't use something every day, it doesn't always stick (at least with me!) I am also interested in learning more about video streaming, which I see is another RESA course.
In conclusion, I want to say thank you for the opportunity to learn all of these new skills. I like the way this course was set up. It was good that we could work at our own pace. I am very happy that I took this course!
We are happy too that you took this course. Your statement, "After taking this course I do not feel as intimidated by new technology. I am more willing to give things a try," is just what we want to hear. It really is all about trying new tools and gaining the confidence that you can continue to try more. Congratulations on your successful completion of 23 Things!
