Reflecting on Educational Technology

Throughout the Educational technology course, I have developed an abundance of technological skills for use in the classroom. These skills can also be used during the remainder of my academic career. The digital lesson plans that I have created with the use of PowerPoint, have given me a sense of pride and accomplishment, and with that a sense of confidence that I will be able to facilitate effective learning throughout my career as an educator. Another aspect I have developed throughout this course is the use of Microsoft word and with that, the creation of interesting and engaging worksheets which feature not only the subject matter required, but also an aesthetically pleasing and up-lifting presence. "The Video in the Classroom" portion of this course has taught me how effective such teaching tools as edpuzzle can be in the classroom. I think The most notable point I have come to realize throughout this course, is the importance of group work and collaboration. Through the creation of our group's music video, I have developed friendships with my fellow classmates that instills a sense of acceptance and professional achievement that I can carry with me as I move forward.
