Tools Reflection

1. What are your favorite tools you now have in your personal technology toolbox?


My favorite tool was # 3 I can see a lot of potential use in this one for my kindergarteners. Such as “Word it Out” and “Spell with Flickr”. For my ESL students this will be very beneficial to improve their English.
I also liked tool # 7 I think my students will enjoy creating a PhotoStory as much as I did!
Digital Story Telling will be a great tool for students to record, document and present a little project for Science or Social Studies. Having them hear their own voices will be exciting to them!


2. How have you transformed your thinking about the learning that will take place in your classroom?

All this training has change my thinking in the sense of how I perceived technology in education before. Now I have a different perspective I want to be a proactive technology facilitator in my classroom. I want for my students to feel safe and knowledgeable about technology.


3. Were there any unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?

I would say that maybe the time since I have had a busy summer. But, now that I’m almost done I can see that it was worth it! I cannot wait to start applying all these tools into my teaching. Many of the tools will benefit my teaching and my students will be engaged and even more motivate it to learn.

Wow! It feels great to now be completed with all the 11 Tools assignments.
