Course Reflection

At the start of Ed Tech 2220 my tech skills was about a 5; now I consider myself a 7. I am very comfortable using all of the tools I learned this semester. I will have no issues adapting to the use of technology in the classroom. This class allowed me to improve my tech skills. The most difficult lesson was writing a lesson plan in accordance with Ohio's Common Core Standards; however, I learned a lot. Voki was easy to use and my favorite assignment this semester. I enjoyed being able to use my own voice. This was so much fun for me. I showed many of my family and friends how to create a Voki.

I will have no trouble incorporating my newly learned tech skills into the classroom.There are a lot of free applications available for teaching and learning. The most frequent tool I will use is Prezi. It is user-friendly and can jazz up any presentation. Pinterest will also be a great resource as a teacher. Pinterest is also a great place to see what learning tools other teachers are using in their classrooms and share ideas.

I would like to learn more about writing lesson plans that incorporates the use of technology. In addition, I would also like to learn more about Khan Academy. I plan to use this website.
