REVIEW OF COURSE FINAL REFLECTIONS

I LOVE THIS COURSE ORIGINALLY I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE I NEVER HAD TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME ON THE COMPUTER OR BLOG BEFORE, BUT IT TURN OUT TO BE AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. I LEARN SO MUCH THAT I TRULY FEEL WILL MAKE ME A BETTER TEACHER. I NOW HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGY IN OUR 21ST CENTURY SCHOOL AND NOW I AM CONFIDENT THAT I CAN UTILIZE THESE TECHNOLOGY EFICIENTLY THANK PRO. LUONGO YOU TRULY BROUGHT OUT THE BEST TEACHER IN ME

INTRRODUCING THE BOOK

THE VIDEO ON INTRODUCING THE BOOK WAS FUNNY BUT SO REAL TO THINK IF WE DID NOT HAVE COMPUTERS EMAIL, FLASH DRIVE INSTEAD OF FLOPPY IS SO FRIGHTENING. I PERSONALLY PREFER TO READ THE MATERIAL ONLINE THAN FROM ONE BOOK. INTERNET ACCESS GIVE VARIETY UNLIKE A BOOK WITH ONE BIASED AUTHOR POINT OF VIEW. THE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT IN TODAYS SOCIETY NOT ONLY MADE US SOCIAL UT GLOBAL BEINGS. THE KNOWLEDGE YOU GAIN THRU ITS USE IS FAR BETTER AND RELIABLE THAN THE KNOWLEDGE YOU GAIN READING A SPECIFIC BOOK THAT IF A FLOOD LIKE NOAH DAYS COME WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE

THE SCHOOLS WE HAVE TODAY

The schools we have today not all of them but majority fits the article "if we didnt's have the schools we have today, would we create the schools we have today." the article is really a brain rattler in such a way that i truly but some effort into analyzing the schools that i have taughted in or personally familiar with. truly they would not be the schools i create. i agree with the article that technology has giving student and teacher and edge without limits to the knowledge they can attain. but a teacher with limited capacity, resources and knowledge of the use of modern day technology i feel cannot perform his/her duty effectively. therefore i agree that the way teachers themselves arebeing taught need to be change. this online course is a perfect example as i have learn to do things like blog something i would not have exposed myself to otherwise
