I must say that this is one of the classes that I have enjoyed the most so far in our cohort. As I have stated in several of my posts, I think that it is amazing the amount of information that is available for teachers (and prospective teachers) online. While I had encountered a few of the site before, there were many more that I had not. I must also say that I was very apprehensive about the format for this class. I had always steered away from blogs, etc. up to this point, trying with a passion to avoid them. However, in doing so, I failed to realize the potential for using something like this in a classroom. I guess most people will say that it takes someone forcing them to do something for them to realize that it might be worth looking at after all. I also really enjoyed having the book mark website available to us. I have used and will continue to use both the book mark and my blog. I will continue to use many of the websites that have been presented to us this semester. I have already started planning on how I will incorporate part of them into the statistics class that some of us are taking now. I have learned more in this short class than I have in some of the longer ones that we have had.
Dr. Trathen, thank you for forcing us to look at this information. It has really opened my eyes to a lot of things that I had not looked at before. Whether it was fear or ignorance, I have overcome much of my avoidance of online type activities this semester. I have really enjoyed this class and will continue to use the information that I have learned as I strive to be the best teacher that I can be.
Thanks,
Mandy Jennings
