WOW, I'm done with my wiki! And I want to tell you some things.....

What I have learned about myself...

The one thing I have learned about myself is that I am not as computer illiterate as I once believed I was. I never thought I would be able to create a web page with such neat tools as I have this semester!

One of my favorite assignments was the Web 2.0 tools. This assignment opened up so many ideas in my mind of how I could make my classroom more interactive.

What I learned about being a teacher....

I learned, through writing my unit, that there are countless was of going about teaching the content I was looking at teaching. I changed my mind many times, and finally made up my mind. I was surprised about how many different tools I was able to incorporate in my unit. I feel as though my unit is strong, and I am looking forward to using it in the future.

What I am most proud of....

I am very proud of my entire wiki, however I am most proud of my Google Earth assignment. I feel as though the content is wonderful, and the websites I have associated with the places on my tour are educational. Most of all I think this assignment would be fun!

What I would do differently next time....

If I had it all to do over again, I would have made my entire wiki look a little more fun. I think the feel of the wiki is mostly serious. It is my style, however, some students may be more attracted to a more fun looking site.

All in all, I enjoyed this class, and learned a lot about the possibilities technology could bring to a classroom!!! A special thanks to Ms. Stocker for all her extra help, and patience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell me what you learned about yourself as a result of doing this wiki and the technology products, what you learned about being a teacher from writing your unit, what you are most proud of as a result of doing your products, and what you would do differently next time.
