TPTE 486 made a difference!

Before taking TPTE 486, I thought I knew quite a bit about the technology world. After I began working in class I soon realized that there was so much I didn't know especially in the little details about pixels and things of that nature. I also noticed I knew even less about educational technology and software. 

Now when I work with technology I notice if small details are wrong or if the pictures aren't named. These things matter when you get your own class and there is crazy and hectic things going on all at the same time. I will be grateful I learned how to essentially make my life easier through this class. I can also say that I learned how to be a better future teacher through creating technology that my kids will learn from and enjoy. With how much technology is integrating into our society, it is necessary to become equipped with the tools to keep you current. 

So yes, interactive white boards and flipcharts were the death of me, but I gained so much experience and I would much rather do that now then when I am stressed out in my own classroom with 20 other kids.
