What I'm taking with me...
I loved this practicum experience. It has shown me how resilient children can be and how adaptable their minds are. In the beginning, I saw technology as a tool that I could sometimes use in lessons. Now, I realize that preparing lessons on slides beforehand makes for a meager, more organized, and well presented lesson. As well, technology is exciting for kids to use, so incorporating technology into activities makes a lesson more engaging and exciting.
This semester gave me the opportunity to try out different technology platforms, like blogger, Twitter, YouTube, and Scratch, from an educational perspective. I am so grateful for this experience.
I hope that I contributed to the learning of others by sharing what I had learned and by offering feedback when appropriate.
Another great blog post to wrap up the semester! It has been great having you as my constructive friend for the last three months. We have supported and encouraged each other while persevering through the challenging times we encountered together. In fact, you should be credited for being partly responsible for the personal growth I have achieved in my professional development this semester. Thank you Sydney! You're going to be an amazing teacher!
