EduTech so far

I think this class has been very helpful, though the timeline has been incredibly stressful. That said, I think the short semester may have helped me make decisions faster about the content I post. In a normal semester, I would have had more time to be anxious about what I put out there, rather than just going with it and exploring and seeing what happens. I think the most useful teaching tool that I've learned so far is learning how to put together a website. I think that will be essential for communication with a classroom of students and their parents. Beyond that, google docs can help students learn to work together and communicate in a medium that they are all likely to be very comfortable with. As far as rewarding moments - my favorite experience so far was working with the photo story. I was happy with the content i chose from the start so I liked the product I created; I also think many students would enjoy creating a product from start to finish. I'd like to say I had an ah-ha moment with photoshop but i think it will take some time and more practice before i feel really comfortable using photoshop in any large capacity in the classroom.
