Reflection time of EDM 310 Spring 2009

This semester, I feel as though this class has been extremely helpful to me in preparation for my teaching career. I have learned many things such as how to use blogs, podcasts, ALEX, ACCESS, igoogle, and even facebook as educational tools. At first I thought this class would be a waste of time , but I have come out of it feeling more so prepared for my future.

I liked how sincere Mr.Tashbin was at teaching us and open to various ideas throughout the class. Also, learning how to use the PowerPoint on google has helped me in multiple other classes! This class is something to come out encouraged about and excited with the technological increase in this world.

If there was anything I would change about it, that would have I wished we had spent more time researching and finding more informational sites that are helpful for teaching. The few that we did were so informative and I am excited to learn about more! I am thankful that I took this class over all and plan on using the information I have learned through this semester to the benefit of myself and those in whom I come in contact with for years to come!

Twitter Patter

Recently I have signed up for the new rage "Twitter". I have to say that it has not yet captured my heart they way Facebook has done so easily. However, Twitter seems to be a very interesting way of keeping up with the latest news of family, friends, celebrities and even the President of the United States(not that I'm that interested in that). Twitter can be used via the computer or phone. It is a quick message written and sent to update your twitter friends about what you are doing and weather or not you are enjoying your day at work or school. I must say, this all seems sort of pointless to me. I would much rather be spending my time outside being active and giving my sore fingers a rest from all the school work I have been doing this week.
