Reflection 1

Throughout the past 8 weeks my eyes have been opened to a new way of educating students. The main contributor is technology. There a many ways to communicate information to students that I had previously known nothing about. This is the first blog site that I had ever visited not to mention posted on. I never thought that this could be such a useful source of education. Blogging seems to make the teaching environment a bit more personal.
Wikipedia will definitely be something that I use as a resource, not only for personal use, but for student research as well . Though I don not consider myself savvy in the area of technology I can say that I feel comfortable in using the resources that I have been taught.
I will definitely be venturing into more technology now that I have some basic background and I would invite all educators to build some knowledge of what technology is available.
