Class Reflection

The final blog will focus on a reflection of the class and what I have learned. This class has taught me several very valuable things. Overall, I enjoyed the distance learning format. I believe it was set up very well by Professor Luongo and had a good blend of online learning, as well as classroom meetings. The class helped me to become familiar with Blackboard and the St. Peter's email system (both of which can be confusing to operate). One of the most valuable things this class taught me was how to work in a distance learning format. At first it seemed like it may be difficult to keep up with the format, but Professor Luongo helped to make it less overwhelming and much easier to work with.

I also felt that class meetings were beneficial. I enjoyed hearing from my classmates and sharing ideas with them. It was interesting to work on an assignment over a period of time on my own and then see all the work that my classmates had been doing as well. Another thing that was great about this class was the exposure to all of the educational software. There is so much information and software out there that can be a great help to teachers that I was never aware of. After taking this class I am excited about using several of these great programs in my own classroom someday.

I enjoyed being in class with Professor Luongo and all my classmates. Good luck and have a great holiday.

I wanted to post the site that I presented last night on my blog that way all of you can get a chance to take a look at it if you would like. I'm sorry the page didn't work but when I got home it worked on my computer so maybe it will work on yours. It would be most useful for teachers that are working with younger students. I think that students could really benefit from the site. I think it's great that it's free and yet it isn't overwhelmed by a lot of advertising. The link can be found at the bottom of this post. I hope it works for you and enjoy.
