Also being able to work on digital badges every week, has now opened many useful website for me to look forward to for my classroom. The purpose for the digital badges was for us students to explore the several websites that can be helpful when trying to create a powerpoint, an online draft, picture slideshows, quizzes, study guides, and so much more. I was able to explore outside of my own comfort zone, and be able to learn so much that teachers are actually provided with just simple computer technology. From using web 2.0 tools, there are also the many subjects we have talked about using the discussion tab in our canvas. These Discussions have been a great learning experience, because not only was I sharing my thoughts and teaching strategies but I was learning from other students as well. Overall my learning journey in Intro of Technology for Educators class has been a perfect combination of useful and rewarding experience. Now I really do feel like I am able to take a step forward in my future teaching career.
