Final Reflection

I learned a lot during this class. Before coming into this class I pretty much knew nothing regarding technology. I could use facebook and email and could search somewhat efficiently although half the time I wouldn't be able to find what I was looking for. I now am able to do a variety of things, even make movies and upload them to youtube! That was probably the most difficult assignment for me, youtube was difficult.
I think I will probably use some forms of technology in my class. I will most definitely let my students know about google docs because I think it is awesome, I would also be interested in having my students create a psa like we did for a healthy lifestyle. Pedometers are not something we talked about in this class but they are a form of technology that would be very useful in my classroom setting. I also think there are some phone apps that would be useful that I would encourage my students to use to enable a more active lifestyle.
This class has done some for the way that I view teaching. In the majority of my classes in high school the only use of technology was powerpoint which I am not the biggest fan of. In college it has been pretty much the same adding in blackboard and whatnot. I think that technology is a wonderful thing even though we don't always get along. This course has helped me better understand it and work with it more easily. Technology can be very useful in helping students get the most out of their education, even in the physical education setting. It is there for our benefit and can be used for good or for bad. It is my plan to use it for good in my class.
