Throughout this past semester I have learned a great deal of information on how to use technology in a professional way. From assignments such as twitter, disconnecting from technology, websites, and LinkedIn, I have learned many ways to use technology to network and build a professional presence online. I really enjoyed this course, because it allowed me to curve each project to my future career field. I was able to see how I can use each of these items in my future. Twitter will be useful to me to interact with students and other teachers. The research and survey assignment allowed me to learn more about my field as well as implement technology into my assignment.
LinkedIn will be great to connect with other professionals in my field, as well as employers in my future. Building a website in my future will be very useful to connect with students, parents, and fellow teachers to let them know what is going on in my classroom. Our biggest resource in this world is our peers or colleagues. Teachers especially need to utilize connections to become innovative and effective in teaching our students. Even the disconnecting from technology assignment taught me a lot about my technology habits which will be useful to me in my future. I think others should take this course, because regardless of what career field you are entering there are items you can take away from this course that will be useful to you in the future, especially the resume building. What is great about this course was that it wasn’t generalized, you could individualize it to your future career, which I think is pretty unique. Overall I really learned a lot and enjoyed this course.
