As I sit exhaling the deep, deep breath I drew-in on the onset of this class
I have to admit - I am feeling like a Super Star! Now, looking back at all the surfaces I have scratched regarding incorporating Web 2.0 tools into my curriculum I am amazed, truly!
Though my brain is complete mush and I'm not exactly certain how to get back to the multitude of doors knocked on and entered though, I do know with certainty that when the confetti finally settles I will most definitely revisit a few of those doors and enter for a longer visit a deeper exploration of the Web 2.0 tools which resonated with me.
This class introduced me to the vast Universe of the World-Wide-Web. Although it is and ever-changing, ever-morphing, moment-to-moment platform, I absolutely feel clued in to the epic diversity and assortment of projects that are available to educators.
I know that when I am teaching next year I will without a doubt be using many of the Web 2.0 tools that I was introduced to in this class. For starters I love the Google presentation postcard project. I love that two people can work simultaneously on one document from two different computers.
I will also be building a new blog for my family to keep in touch with what I am doing when I make the move to my new teaching position in India next July.
I plan to incorporate Wikis into my curriculum - though I still am not sure how to do that but I plan to make that my first goal when I start to investigate Web 2.0 tools on my own.
I also loved the story books we created in shutterfly and I will use that too most definitely. I think that project will allow students with different skill sets to soar.
I was introduced to so much in this class. I think that introduction, though fast paced and quick as it was, was really the highlight for me. This class gave me a taste of what is out there and what is available and that is really what I will walk away with.
