It has certainly been interesting to review my classmates blogs and see how they are keeping up in the class and what issues that concern me either do or do not concern them. The compare and contrast is interesting. It is truly fascinating to glimpse into the minds of future educators and my future co-workers. The contrast in ideas and diverse thoughts is exactly what is going to make the future of education such a bright place.
The next technology-related skill I would like to learn is probably web design. I feel like as a teacher I might want to maintain a website for my students and web design, such as basic HTML would eventually come in handy for this purpose. However, we did learn how to make wikis, which will probably suffice. I also have a tiny bit of knowledge of HTML, enough to get by, and do not feel that web design kept this class from being great, because I definitely learned so much in this class about technology, more than enough to get by.
In the future, I hope to make sure each of my students is completely knowledgeable about every technology-related aspect of my class before giving an assignment with it. I know that in the past I have sometimes been faced with a technology task that I was not familiar with and my teachers just expected me to pick up on it or teach myself, and I hope to never leave my students with that issue. Futhermore, with the skills I am now familiar with due to this class, I hope I can help my students carry their knowledge into other subject areas, as well.
