I have to be honest. Most of the classes I have taken during college I found boring. There was no hands on experience. Everything came from a text book and required a paper! However, I learned an immense about of knowledge from Internet Tools. I had no idea how many tools were out there. Most everything we did I have never heard of. Each week I became more excited because I would think about how to use these new tools in my classroom. My favorite tool by far is Jing. Jing has so many possibilities in the classroom. I like to use Jing to make mini tutorials for students who may need a refresher. My students use Jing to display their content knowledge. Finally, my students and I can get away from using a textbook and doing worksheets all the time. By using these various tools, my students have the ability to be creative in the classroom. Also, the level of motivation had definitely been raised. I'm excited to see what else I learn as I finish my journey!
