This has definitely been a hectic semester for me. Between work, grad school, and the little one that I have on the way (on top of everything else), I have been busy, busy, busy! I have to say that I have definitely learned a lot this semester. I enjoyed getting to jump into web design. I feel like I've had huge growth in this area.
Before this class, I had never truly created a website before - not counting the dinky high school web design class I took (let alone thought about the importance of design, color scheme, and the use of media within the site). I got the opportunity to learn how to use Google Sites and Wix.com. While I found creating a website frustrating at times, I've learned that the more experience I have with those sites, the more comfortable that I feel.
I also enjoyed learning how to use Audacity. Audacity is something that I had heard about before, but I had never really got the opportunity to try out. I really benefitted from getting the time in class to explore Audacity. Editing audio turned out to be a lot simplier than I thought it would be.
As I continue to move forward in my grad school program, I really feel that I am taking the steps to becoming a technology facilitator within my school. My students are also really benefitting from all of the things that I am learning (I can't wait to complete my WebQuest that I created with my students in a few weeks. Eventually, I hope to be able to share my new knowledge with my coworkers so we can all benefit the kids!
