Lesson 16 Reflection

Our final blog brings much sadness and great joy!!! This semester has been a great experience for me. I have learned a lot throughout the semester. I learned so many new technologies to use in the classroom. I have learned that students enjoy using technology in the classroom. They feel that they are older adults if they are using technology. Since the world is changing so much with the new technology the students need to know how to use the technology for the appropriate reason. When we did the WebQuest the students enjoyed learning about the Civil War that way. Since they were able to go on a virtual tour. They were not just reading out of a text book.

Do you believe in me?
I loved the video, I thought it was very inspiring! To have a 10 year old talk in front of 20,000 people was amazing. I think that so many of the teachers there were greatly impacted from listening to the boy. I think it is so true that students need everyone to believe in them. If so many people believed in one person that one person could do so much. Every teacher needs to hear that speech because they will truly see how much they have an impact on each of the students!
