How will you apply what you have learned in this course to your future teaching and learning experiences?

There are so many ways in which I will apply what I have learned in this course to my future teaching. One, I will be using the website I created as the team site posting homework and major announcements, etc. so my students and their parents will have an easy place to obtain information outside of school. I will also be introducing my wiki lesson, created for my final project, sometime within the next school year. It is my hope that students will also be creating digital stories for presentations on African countries and weather (this of course, has to be approved by my colleagues and done within time constraints, but I feel I can "sell" the idea to them.) My co-teacher in Language Arts have already discussed blogging with students - now I know how. Furthermore, I'd like to explore some of the individual projects I did not undertake, from the Instructional Models to the Indivdiual Final Projects, and see if I can bring them in somewhere either next year or any years prior. Finally, students and I will be collaborating to create/edit wiki lessons for future classes to learn.

I really found this course to be much better than I originally thought. At first, I was extremely overwhelmed and thought I could never do half of the things I've actually completed! It is amazing to see how easy it all is (with time and planning,) and how much I've done.
