This online course has made me look at the way I currently use technology in my classroom. I have realized that I can be doing so much more! It also makes me really want to have one-to-one computers/tablets in my room so I can do more and do it more often!
I think I will be able to use some of the tools I have learned about. I also think that I will look in to how to let my second graders use technology to learn more collaboratively. It is going to be difficult for me to use online assessments and to let my second graders use the exploratory method. They are so limited on their knowledge and right now they only want to use technology to play the games they are familiar with and play at home. I have to be okay with them playing and teach them that you can play and learn at the same time.
I also find it difficult in the second grade finding safe ways for them to explore and not see inappropriate things. They are so immature as this age and love to share the wrong types of information!
I am excited and nervous at the same time about what the future holds!
