There were many different outcomes that were excepted to be completed at the end of the course. Each outcome related to different ideas of what I needed to know by the end. I learned many new ideas and tech skills while being in my Ed Tech class. An example is Scratch Jr and learning how to code, at first I felt it was difficult and I became frustrated with it however, once I was able to get the hang of what was being asked it became easy to follow along. I felt I was fairly prepared when it came to my tech skills for this class since I use technology each day whether it is at work or school. I did however, extend my knowledge and learned about new apps and different tech skills that can be used to enhance my skills.
SAMR was an important article that was talked about in my class this semester. It enhances my idea of how different technologies can be used to help learners. I can use this technology to allow me to have different ideas of where each of my students can be with what is being taught.
Educational technology that would be exciting to have in my future classroom would be iPads or Chromebooks for each student and it be the main way for lessons to be taught, although young children can become easily distracted when they have any access to technology since they are able to watch YouTube or play games.
My greatest "a ha" moment was learning about coding and how easy it is and how it can be used in the classroom for students to complete outcomes that are asked. My favourite app is google slides since I am able to use it successfully and understand how to make my slides look visually appealing while adding the information that is needed to be taught.
