It's hard to believe that the semester is already over. It has gone by so quickly. When I began the coursework for EME5050 I wasn't very sure of how useful the course would be for me. I was to be very surprised.
The semester began with discussions about are we doing what is best for our students or what is best for us as educators. We also talked about ethics, as well as our online identities and just how much information we should put out about ourselves on the internet. It was very interesting to read the blogs of my fellow classmates and find out what their viewpoints were on these issues.
The most challenging aspect of EME5050 were the activities that we were to compile for our final project. There were many things that were new to me. Before this semester I had never blogged, used a wiki, or worked with much software outside of Microsoft Office. This class gave me lots of experience using different technologies and communication tools. I was very hesitant when I was setting up different accounts so that I could blog, create my wiki, and compile a digital storytelling presentation using Prezi. Even creating a rubric was a new experience for me! After working with these different tools quite a bit to communicate and complete my final project I feel very comfortable using them on a daily basis.
I learned quite a bit during this semester and I don't think I will forget all of the new experiences I have had. I think they will help to make me a better educator.
