After 11 Tools (Reflections)

1. What are your favorite tools you now have in your personal technology toolbox? Briefly describe a particular activity that you will plan for your students using at least one of these new tools.
My favorite tools are the image generators, digital stories, and itouch. I could see my students using the itouch to apply the information they have learned in any content area. I can see how my students can use image generators for any presentation they might need to create, and they can create summaries of what they have learned with digital stories.

2. How have you transformed your thinking about the learning that will take place in your classroom?
I think that technology offers something that has not been accomplished a lot in the past, and this is multisensory. Technology uses all the senses. By providing information that targets all the senses, students will be focused, interested, and they will learn faster and always wanting more.

3. Were there any unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
The realization that change is HERE! We are no longer surrounded and limited by four walls. We as educators must challenge ourselves to learn new things in order to provide the best for our students and also provide them with whatever is being used in the real world today and prepare them for whatever might be used tomorrow.
