all good things must come to an end

Week 6 marks the end of our Tech class. I am sad that it is over, but also really excited to start a new class on Friday's. The change will be interesting because Tech fits so perfectly into my timetable, but I think I will get used to it after the first few weeks. I am excited for the end of the year because that is when we will get to do more teaching. I know I have a micro-lesson coming up at the end of the year, and this class has made me feel much more prepared for that. I look forward to implementing the technology tools I have related, but also beyond that, the other skills and practical learning resources I have gained from this course.
I feel that this course has been extremely beneficial for new teachers. It provides such a great overview of all the tech-related aspects of teaching. The mix of modules and assignments and explorations of apps has been enlightening. I am thankful for the experience. That being said, I am happy the weekly modules are done because they are a little bit time consuming. I am happy to have consistently been forced to leave my comfort zone and explore new resources. I was so nervous about certain assignments such as the TED talk but I really ended up enjoying it. Its a nerve wracking thing, being forced to put oneself out there, but overall, I think it really paid off. I have learned so much and am happy with the progression I have made.
I always knew I did not want to be one of those teaches who couldn't even set up the projector, or didn't know how to work a Youtube video. I am thankful that I was given the opportunity to advance beyond that, I now have a more advanced level of applications and websites to turn to. So even though I learned through the years the basics of technology, this class has made me a more competent tech user, and in turn a better teacher.
