ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to learning the ways technology can enhance both the educational experience and educational strategies.
ReplyDeleteThis has been a very eye opening experience for me. I realize that technology is not just about the latest "bells and whistles" that distract our students from real learning, but are fantastic tools when utilized properly to engage them and make their learning relevant. I also have learned how these same tools are critical in organizing and running a building. By modeling their use I set an example for my staff that I expect them to remain current with the technology that is out there. Thank you Dr. Jeffery for this very challenging and enlightening course.

I thought Dr. Wagner's book was excellent. I am excited to apply some of the concepts in the book. We have chartered a virtual academy targeted at high school dropouts. Going through this class has helped me have a better understanding of the stragies of the academy.
