Final Reflection:
I certainly had my ups and downs during this course, both personally and academically. I feel like I came into this as kind of a nay-sayer of the use of technology, which to me seems strange because I am such a big fan of using it in my life. I guess maybe I come from the "Old School" of education, and I think spending time in this course has caused some of those ideas to change. Am I still hesitant about using technology in the classroom? Yes; however, I do see its merits and I feel like I have found ways to use it effectively and appropriately. Still, we need to not be complacent, and we need to not focus on where things could potentially go and just go with the flow of the changes in our technological lives. I'm reminded of an old proverb, that I will butcher by saying "we can't lose the forest for the trees"; in the same we, we cannot ignore the present while looking at the future, both for our students sake, and for our own.
