When I first started this class I was immediately was intrigued by the “Did you know?” video, however, I felt extremely overwhelmed. I thought it was completely unnecessary to have all of these account and etc. and didn’t see the point of it. I dreaded assignments, but when I finally understood how to accomplish them, I enjoyed them. Every week I gradually began to put together everything I learned and understand the significance of all the technology. I use my accounts everyday, and I can’t even remember what I would do without them! Especially delicious, I love organizing all of my resources. Also, I have learned so much from social networking with teachers; twitter has given me numerous resources and ideas.
This class has taught how to be the teacher I want to be. It has taught me so much about social networking and growing as an individual. I always thought I was “up to date” with the current trends and etc. but I quickly realized I had been just stuck in my “old ways” myself! I was scared of technology and I didn’t even know it. Yes, I had a computer, a cell phone, etc. but I didn’t really utilize them for all that they were worth. I automatically just avoided learning and experimenting with new websites because they were foreign and confusing. I am thankful for this class because it forced/pushed me to face my fears and embrace the unknown. Although it took some time, I gradually feared less and less. This class has changed my entire perspective not only on my professional career, but my personal life as well. It’s amazing how much I learned.
