Class is over...now what?

The best aspect of IPT 286 has been writing lesson plans. The opportunity to create a grading rubric and a lesson plan using technology was valuable and relevant. I will use these lesson plans in some form in future classes. The most challenging aspect of this class was remembering to do assignments, remembering where to turn in assignments, and the requirements of the assignment because of the lack of a paper syllabus. Also, finding access to the internet was occasionally difficult because I do not have the internet at home and the lines for computers on campus are only getting longer. My attitude has changed toward technology in so far that I am more aware of ethical issues regarding technology use in the classroom. I am not more or less inclined to use technology in the classroom, but I will be more judicious about using it when I do use it. The two things I will take away from this class are a working knowledge of blogs and an idea of how to integrate technology into my lesson plans.
