EDLD 5306: What I learned from this course.

I learned so much about myself. I learned that even though I know how to turn a computer on, I actually know nothing about the different types of 21^st technology or how to implement them into my classroom. This course was completely overwhelming and I wonder if I will be able to finish the program. I met some really great people who reached out to me when I was having difficulty. They offered help and advice and most importantly they encouraged me to not give up. I just completed my first year of teaching so I do not have any educational background experience from which to draw. At this point, I do not believe I am even able to lead in technology much less be a facilitator. I realize I have so much to learn. I am eager to learn about different types of technology and hope I can have fun while going through this program.  I also hope this program will provide me with useful technology information I can incorporate into my classroom rather than just trying to cram so much into five week spurts that I learn nothing other than how to fill out paperwork and write papers.
