Learning Summary

Throughout the weeks of this course (EME 5050), I have discovered several things about myself as an educator and as someone who is gaining confidence daily in the field of technology and how it pertains to education. I have always been fairly comfortable with the use of technology in the classroom. I have used interactive programs for my students when reviewing content and other practice applications. I was initially overwhelmed during the beginning of this course, due to all of the different kinds of pages and resources I would be manipulating. I must say, of the four course I have taken thus far in my Master’s program, this is the one I know I will use on a daily basis in my classroom. The knowledge I have learned and gained through this course is beyond helpful for me and my students. Everything I have learned in this class can be directly taken into my classroom. I am much more confident in my ability to teach new technologies to my students. Mostly, I have learned that communication is key when becoming and effective educator. Through the many communication techniques given to us in the online course, I now know how important it is to keep this communication with my students and with parent.
