While reading some of my colleague’s blogs I realized that a few of them thought that the course was a bit rushed and that they did not have sufficient time to practice using the technologies they were learning. They were very excited by what they were learning and the potential for using them as instructional tools in the classroom but they were being hindered by their lack of technological “savvy” as well as by time constraints.
I agree with my colleagues that this course was a bit rushed and we did not get time to savour the ‘goodies’ on sale. Maybe, if this course is being offered in the future, consideration would be given to increasing the time span of the course and more time being dedicated to lesson planning.
Fortunately for me, I had done a similar course previously and I was actually apprehensive that I would not learn anything new. Boy, was I wrong! Thank you Aisha for introducing me to the Webspiration concept mapping software, Google Docs, PBworks, e-book readers (I want one), Microsoft Storybook 3 and how can I ever forget my firsthand nail biting experience of submitting my assignment to Turnitin (nail biting occurs when you submit late). I am sorry we did not get a chance to practise using podcasts but after this course is over I will be downloading the software and trying it out.
