Over the course of this period, I have learned more than I could imagine. I am happy to say that I truly enjoyed this class because of the cool technology I have learned. The first takeaway of this course is to always be interactive with technology. I feel like I have learned first hand by creating my own projects and adding my own perspective to them. Creating these tech advanced projects was interesting because I could do it on my own interests which will just make me remember the content better (as the textbook describes).
The second takeaway was learning how to apply technology in the classroom. For instance, I started to think about ways to use the technology we were using in class, in my future classrooms. I want to teach third grade, so at times it was rough because some of platforms we were using were somewhat harder to comprehend (me being a college student), but I always found a way around it to apply it to a classroom full of children.
Not only did I learn more about using technology applying it in the classroom, I also learned to apply technology in the real world. This course has made me realized that the world is changing drastically — changing into a world full of technology. Most of the platforms we used for this course, I have never even heard of. I always used the applications Apple provides, but I can comfortably say that I will be trying new things. This course was all about getting your hands on technology, and that is exactly what I did.
