My Wow Moment....

I rarely have "aha!!!" moments, and this class was no exception. I have had an "aha!!" SEMESTER. I never in a million years thought I could create my very own website with embed codes, pictures, links, rss feeds, and so much more. I haven't really been interested in technology, but seeing all the possibilities with technology and education and how easy they are to access puts a spring in my step. Now, I have the confidence to create webquests, use google maps to create lesson plans, have the students display their knowledge using countless avenues, and so much more that I haven't even learned about yet. I have the resources that I've discovered along with all the resources my peers have learned about because I know how to access their Delicious accounts, follow them on twitter, and lots of other educational social media. I've learned that it is all about learning non-stop, asking others via technology, and being creative in finding ways to use technology in my classroom. It has been so enlightening to learn how to embed things (I didn't even know what that meant before!!) I am so happy that I fought through my frustration as a relatively new "techie." Visit my website and see what all I've learned to do!!
