I found the professional development activity at the end of this course the most beneficial. Since my school had asked me to look into some assistive technology resources earlier in the semester for special needs students, I was able to tailor my PD activity research to help fit the needs of my district. It made learning very hands on! I also liked reading the articles about BYOD and collective intelligence. They were topics I had learned about in past classes, but I got to study them in depth during this course.
There weren't really aspects of this course that did not meet my needs. The only issue was at times the assignments were so lengthy that I had a difficult time completing them on time. However, Dr. Angelone was fair and accommodating if I needed extra time.
The topic I found least interesting was healthy use of technology. It is a topic I am familiar with and did not really learn anything new about, but I recognize that it is an important aspect of technology to consider.
My knowledge of technology in my district evolved over the semester dramatically. I was able to apply things I read in this course to our technology situations at school and determine how successful or unsuccessful various aspects of our 1:1 laptops and BYOD initiatives have been.
Thanks for a thought provoking semester!
