Reflections

Add your name and a reflection about what you are learning about teaching and learning with technology. What is changing in your thoughts? what questions do you have? What have you learned? Leslie Barth: I have some reflections from our time together on Thursday, 3/22. This was my third training with you, Julia. You are amazing in your technological knowledge! I am doing my best to take in all that you have shared and it has been a lot! First of all, I would truly welcome and appreciate a set of notes/PowerPoint of the key points in your presentations. As it is, I take several pages of notes and I find an overview from the instructor to be a great tool for my learning. You are so very knowledgable and move very quickly while I am slowly trying to process all of your information. I would also love for you to come observe each class to see and understand the students that we teach and how they think. I look forward to setting up my own wiki pages and I really think that the tutorials will be great for students and parents!

Robin Courtney: The training as usual was very informative but somewhat overwhelming at times. Next time would you be able to make hard copies or even email us your PowerPoints ahead of time so that we can have that in our tool box. I look forward to learning more ways to share our experiences and student work with the world. There is so much out there and new things every day that it is very helpful to have someone who can lead us in the right direction to find the helpful apps and sites. (Robin, my presentations are on line at slideshare.net/julialeong)

Heather Goeddel: I am very excited to have you come back and meet with us one on one. I am into the practical when it comes to learning new things and I think once I have one idea/activity underway I can use that as a spring board for the next. Right now I have lots of bits and pieces but not enough to make a cohesive start. I hope that we can find/create a foundation together that I can use to work with my kids. Im also wishing I had more time to devote to this right now. Like Cathy said, we are all in the midst of end of the year reports (and other stuff). Summer will be a great time for me to explore.

Maria Cunningham All this is so exciting. I have known about some of the things you have taught us like Wikispace and GoogleDocs for a long time. But no formal or even informal training. So this has provided the information needed to get started.

Molly Buttitta: I take so much away from all of our trainings. I am excited to start the shift to using all I'm learning about with my students. I think it will make a big difference for the students and the parents.
