Overall, I do feel more 'tech savvy' after completing this course. I loved using the SMART board software, and will definitely use it in my classroom, and GoogleDocs rocks my world! I made a MOVIE. Never thought I would be able to do that, and I don't see myself using it in the classroom just yet, but maybe in the future as an independent study project. Making the Vokis was really fun, too.
I don't know that I would use some things we talked about in my own classroom, like Glogster, but knowing how to create and run a wiki I think will be handy and is a great communication tool for teachers, students, and parents alike.
I'm interested in learning new technologies, especially things that help me to organize my life! Like I said before, and I will say a thousand times over, GoogleDocs is amazing, and I also really love the idea of Diigo lists and having everything stored online, so accessible! I feel comfortable with the technologies we covered in class and am eager to learn new ones as well.

Been reading through the bloggggggs...
... and I found some pretty cool stuff!
I love how Dave, Mel, and Megan chose to get really involved with their blogs, adding extra posts about cool stuff like videos, HP references, and awesome layouts (you English major, you!) I especially enjoyed the link Dave posted from The Nature Conservancy on finding your carbon footprint - totally took the test it was great and I'll probably use that in my classroom at some point. All sorts of awesomeness going on in these blogs - I loved reading them all!
It is great to see how my peers are faring in the program, whether it be progress in T2P-writing or just the openness that everyone writes with in their blogs - it both puts me at ease about where I think I fall, and also inspires me at the same time. Google Reader makes it so easy to read through everything! I've added all of my knitting and sheepy blogs to the reader as well so I can keep caught up on my woolly news too.
I will be checking up on these blogs, friends!! Don't let this be your last post - I really like reading them :) I'm also flattered that a few of you chose to quote my blog... you're all so great.
