Coming into this course I I thought that I could consider myself very knowledgeable of using online tools in the classroom. I also thought Web 2.0 just meant using the Internet. This course has shown me that there are a plethora of tools out there for educators to use. I learned how to use new tools and got more knowledge of tools that I have heard of. This course showed me how important Web 2.0 tools are for in the classroom and students reaching their highest potential in education. Web 2.0 tools help kids practice, they reteach, they are great for determining groups, for collecting data, for in class or outside collaborating competition, and for pushing students past their level.
In a world that is turning into a technology driven world, it is important for educators to become familiar with the technology that is available. Prior to this course I used technology in my class, but not to the extent that I should have been. Now that I have knowledge on more tools, I am implementing more of them in my classroom. As I become more technology savvy, I plan to continue to implement more Web 2.0 tools. As an educator I want to prepare myself for all the opportunities the future has for them. This means I must continue to expose them to technology and continue to help them understand what they can do with technology. I will continue to use the skills that I have learned in this class with my students, my students’ parents, the factuality at my school and in my personal life.
