Final Blog

Well......

This is the final blog for EDU 610 and I think I'm feeling a bit sad. It has been a long ride, sometime treacherous, sometimes maddening and other times enlightening. If ever there was someone who has changed as a result of a class, I am that person. Going from a frightened, sarcastic, opinionated older student to a more confident, open-minded but sadly still older student (though one who feels a least ten years younger), it is a real transformation! No, I have not become proficient or even knowledgeable about technology, but I am open to it which is a huge accomplishment. And I feel we did it together, you the teacher and with the wonderful support and commraderie of the class. I now feel that technology is like a living thing, patience is vital in getting to know it. My future students will benefit from the lessons learned here, not necessarily specific lesson plans or websites but they will thank me for my willingness to listen and explore. That's what I learned here -to have a sense of wonder about technology rather than seeing it as the enemy.
Have a wonderful break and thank you.
