Thinking about course content

Thinking about course content from Technology 101


What do you see yourself using in the next year?
Through discussion with my fellow classmates in the course I've learned about programs like Remind 101, Celly, and Animoto.  These are all things I had never heard of prior to the course and I really love utilizing these different apps to communicate with my students & parents, collect survey data quickly, and share what is happening in my classroom with parents and administrators. 

What will be most helpful in your professional situation?
We're currently going through the planning stages for a 1:1 implementation which is primarily why I decided to sign up for this course and I've learned a lot.  For example, I honestly hadn't thought about creating policies and procedures for subs in a full 1:1 teaching environment and clearly this is an example of one important issue we needed to reflect up.  This is just an example but I've stored away many questions and ideas to help us better implement our 1:1.

How can the information you learned over the past 18 weeks be used in the rest of your school and/or corporation?
Throughout the course I've been sharing articles and ideas I've come across through the course with the administrators at my school.  In addition, I've created  a file of articles, ideas, web links from the course which I plan to share with the teachers in my school and I also hope to develop mini learning workshops from these resources.
