Another valuable class that can easily be applied within the
classroom walls draws to an end. I can
honestly say that in the beginning of this class I was a little skeptical of
how much of this class I would really take into my classroom. From the class essays that we created on the
class wiki to podcasts and digital story telling, to the weekly blogs; there
are pieces that I am going to try to incorporate into my classroom next fall.
I even enjoyed those class essays towards the end (not so
much in the beginning) of the class.
Although I often found myself on the opposite side of the stance that I
agreed with. I just took that as a
challenge. I challenged myself, being
the professional that I am, to find valuable pieces to incorporate into our arguments. I even found myself seeing the “other” sides’
viewpoint and started to lean that way.
It was a very eye opening experience.
Priceless is what I would call this class even though I looked like I was standing in the middle of the highway for most of the weeks. I collected notes and articles about the many projects we were instructed to do. Most of them which I realized reached multiple levels of learners and touched on several of the top tiers of blooms taxonomy. When I talked about the projects to other teachers most of them had never heard of them (that made me feel like our instructor was on the cutting edge of technology :~) so now it comes to a close. Many of the group wikis where rather interesting topics to consider. And yes this has been a awakening experience for me too.
