6715- New and Emerging Technologies Refection

Application 7 taught me that I have the ability to implement emergent technology into my school district. Writing the grant proposal was exciting because I started to think of all the ways our students would benefit from having a laptop with them, at school and at home. Before this course, I had never considered writing a grant that would focus on utilizing emergent technology. In addition, I learned about moodle and other online learning resources that would encourage my students to be reflective learners, and continue their learning outside of the classroom. During the first week of school, I plan on having my students go to the computer lab to take an online survey, and get acquainted with navigating the Internet. Throughout the school year, I plan to utilize moodle, and have my students blog, podcast, and take an online virtual field trip. Overall, this course has given me many online learning tools that support 21st century learners, and prepares them for the future.
