Thoughtful+Analysis

===// I have learned many important things in Media and Technology this semester. Before taking this class, I never knew how to make a blog or a podcast. I also did not know that Google had so many free applications available for the public to use. I now feel more comfortable using technology in my own classroom because I have a better understanding of how to use it correctly. //===

===// The topic I enjoyed learning most was video conferencing. I have heard of conferencing before, but I never knew how easy it was to participate in one. This is a tool I will definitely use in my classroom. I really like the idea of collaborating with other schools and having the students do activities together. It is a good way to keep students focused and learning while also having fun. //===

===// Advances in technology are helping many students to excel in school. With computers, smartboards, assistive technology, and much more, there is a device available to help every student learn. In the future, technology will continue to be integrated into our classrooms and it will be a very important part of teaching and learning. By the time we have our own classrooms, there will be many new devices available and it is important for teachers to continue to learn about technology. //===
