Looking back, looking ahead






When I first started this class, I was so nervous because I felt like I was probably going to be the only one who did not know how to use all the tools the teacher was teaching us about. I was getting ready to drop this course in the beginning, but I see that many others on the first day also had zero experience with using technology. So I stuck with it because I know the teacher would take her time showing us and learning how to use technology tools we are going to be needing when we teach. This TIE300 was great and I’m glad they offered it to us future teachers we are going to use this in the future when we start teaching. With all the technology all students are using now a days there’s going to probably be only ipads and laptops in classrooms from now on.
The teacher was excellent because she has so much experience in the field and was very organized on each educational tool we learned each week. She went step by step with us in the class and even though I never used it if I was stuck I would right away ask a classmate or email the teacher right away. But sometimes it was small things I would look on youtube for step by step to guide me through it.
 I thought we had to pay for everything we were using online websites but guess what it was FREE! All these great tools to use in the classroom us teachers can use for free and the students would enjoy it.

I made sure to save all the work we did in this course so I can go back and use when I start teaching in the future.  I am also glad she made us make our very own professional website which I never had done. Now that I designed and put all my information of mine I can use it for teaching jobs.
