I think this course was great. The way we opened the class with the Google Presentations was a great way to allow us all to learn a little about each other. It kind of made me feel at home. The part in our presentations about "What inspired us to teach" really gave us all the opportunity to share how we felt. Almost everyone had different reasons but they all touched my heart. Doing those presentations really broke us in. I'm usually the quiet one that would stay to myself and hardly ask questions during class. So I really think that ice breaker was great for us all.
The different things we learned like blogging and podcasts were very informative. These are tools that we could really take and use to our advantage when we become teachers. I really think that I will be using a blog to communicate with my parents. I could also add podcasts to my blogs if needed. When you first look at a blog it looks hard, but after creating a blog in this class it was very easy. Having the hands on instruction while creating blogs or podcasts was a great way to grasp the material.
I really enjoyed taking this course because it taught me things that I did not know. I really think that in the future I will be able to benefit from this class. This was a very opinionated course that allowed us to express our likes and dislikes on everything. There was no right or wrong answer when posting a blog assignment.

Twitter

Twitter in it's own kind of way was interesting. I think I would rather stick with my Facebook page. I really didn't grasp the real meaning of twitter, but to each it's own. I could probably see it in the future becoming as large as Facebook and Myspace. The first time I heard about twitter was in this class, but now its seems like every other day I hear something about twitter. So it may be that I have heard of Twitter before but until I got in this class is when I actually payed attention to it.
I think that in a lot of ways twitter can be used to benefit me as a teacher. But who's to say I would have time to log in everyday and keeps parents posted. In a professional manner it would be great for my classroom.
