the hardest button to button, ah oh!

Hello! If you'd like, you can completely ignore this post. I am only trying to get a blog button to work for me:)

the halfway point (blogpost 8)

I can't believe the class is half over. I feel as though it just began. I am grateful that this course has introduced me to a few new technological experiences, like created my own website. Without this course, I probably would not have tried to make my own website. I haven't blogged since 2005, so it's good to get back in the swing of things. I love the idea of a class blog for my future English students, and I hope to create one in the future.

In a lot of ways, Ed Tech is all about demystifying technology and revealing its practicality. I appreciate the way in which our instructor introduces us to many different ways to do the same thing, even if we only do it one way in class. She has provided so many valuable links and resources, and has encouraged us to catalog the resources we have found on our own. I am very grateful for that, because once this course is gone, I can still revisit the website I created and have that valuable list of resources at my fingertips.

I don't know if I would call this class challenging. I think there is a very wide variety of technological comfort in the students in our class, and I don't always feel that I can sprint ahead when I want to. I do wish there were some way to accommodate those students who want to move at a faster pace and learn a little more. That would be my biggest suggestion for our instructor. But don't get me wrong, I've learned a lot. I just want to test things out while I learn, and at times I find that very difficult to do because of our pace.

My favorite assignment so far has been the copyright assignment. I am so thankful that we have been introduced to these critical laws.
