It's OVER?

Well, my Technology in the Classroom course has come to an end. I have learned so much about the use of technology in the past six weeks. After studying the different ways technology can be used in the classroom, I have come to really appreciate it. For example, when learning about the provinces, students can go on google earth and view the different cities throughout Canada. Of course we do not have the money or resources to travel all over the country, but with technology we are able to get an accurate and real-to-life picture of the different parts of our vast country. I have also found out that technology helps with differentiated learning and with collaboration with people all around the world. Technology has so much to offer us as educators. Personally, I am going to use it whenever applicable because I truly believe that it does help the children in their learning. It not only helps them to learn, but helps them to learn well and creatively. My title ask's "It's OVER?" Well, the answer is no, no it is not. Finishing this course is just the start for me. I want to continue to learn more about how to use technology better and will try to stay as up-to-date as I can. If you have not delved into thinking about the use of technology in your classroom I ask you to do some research. If you are already using it, I ask that you use it wisely. Use it to benefit your students and the material they are learning. Technology is a gift that has been given to us. We should use it, and use it wisely!
