Summary of Learning
I decided to use a concept map to do my summary of learning through because I thought it would be a great way to learn how to use a new tool. My concept map can be found here so check it out. I also think doing my summary of learning this way is also fitting because it captures the learning process I have gone through during this class; learning how to use a lot of new technology that I can use in my classroom was a great benefit from this class. Lastly it allows me to put a lot of content in one spot in a way that is clean and organized so I can go back to it or others are able to look at it. UAEdTech taught me a lot this year, but I think the biggest thing it taught me was to stay open and flexible. I had to be open and flexible to trying new things such as blogging, or new tools I have never used before. this class taught me that trying new things isn't as scary as I thought it would be, and once I tried it I felt so good about myself for learning something new.
Translating this to my classroom is a great skill to have so I will not be afraid to change things up in my instruction for the betterment of my students. Being flexible and open to my profession and my personal life are great skills to have in life. I plan to use a lot of the tools and resources I learned from this class in classroom one day. I can especially see myself using the productivity tools so I will be able to use my time wisely while I am grading papers or lesson planning.
When I first started this class, I was not looking forward to learning new things with technology because I have never been very good at it. I took the class only because I had to take it to get my degree. I didn't think I would get anything out of it, little did I know I was very very wrong. I learned so much in the last semester about many different aspects of education than I ever have before. I really truly enjoyed this class, and these skills I learned here I will take them with me for the rest of my life.
