Weaving through the Web 2.0 online course has been extremely rewarding. There were challenges and many hours of work. However, the challenges helped me grow, and the hours provided a time for “directed play.” I am so excited about sharing the technology tools with my students and fellow colleagues. As an elementary teacher, one of our main focuses is to teach students to read. Many of the tools that were explored during this course would support the teaching of reading. They would provide an avenue for students to practice their fluency, to listen to other readers, and to read to other listeners. The ability to collaborate through the Ning with teachers in other schools is also exciting. The website that I created to serve as one of my technology toolboxes has been very helpful to my colleague who requested information. We will continue to collaborate.
The web is the limit. And I’m ready to reach for the tools that will best benefit the 21st century learners in Room 108.
The class has been awesome! Thank you for providing such a rewarding experience.
