Over the course of this term, I feel like I have gained a great deal of valuable information about the issues surrounding technology use in the classroom. Because I have taken EDST 422 (the other technology class in the EdF major), I wasn’t sure that I would gain much from this experience, however the individual project allowed me to really dive into a topic that I had not had the opportunity to explore before. This was one of the most useful and relevant projects I have done in quite a while through this program and I was extremely grateful that I was able to play such a major role in shaping how my project developed. I also did not have exposure to programs like excel and publisher prior to this course. I feel like the skills I gained from exploring these programs will be extremely useful to me as a future educator. In fact, I have already begun using these programs for things like making gradebooks for my FIG class. Overall, I think that this course helped me to grow as a future educator and contributed to my own understanding of the ways that technology can (or can not) be a useful tool in the classroom.
