I have given considerable thought to what I would like to say in terms of parting comments for EC & I 831 and have come to the conclusion that many things come to mind. The most frequent emotion that comes to mind is satisfaction. I am really happy that I stuck with this course and saw it through to the end. In many ways this course was extremely challenging; but in many more ways it was very satisfying. I find myself doing technological things I never even thought about just a few months back. For instance, I begin everyday by using google reader to check the blogs I subscribed too. Also, I have been playing around with windows moviemaker and trying some video editing. I also have really got into digital photography and using music to accompany my photos. I am sure there are many more tools out there that I can utilize and I fully intend to use my time this summer to expand upon the knowledge this course has afforded me. I also look forward to learning more about google; it has so many more applications than I was aware of. It certainly has proven to be a very useful tool within a school setting. This course has allowed me to come to the realization that technology is the way of the future and that as an educator I must be prepared to embrace it; and what better way to embrace it, than to learn about it. This course has also enabled me to overcome my fear of all things technological. I am now willing to try new things and accept my shortcomings. With time I am confident my skills will only improve. I look forward to the years ahead with technology and I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Couros for his understanding and encouragement along the way.
