Reflection on learning this Semester

I've learned a lot this semester and it's been a worthwhile experience along the way! I appreciate the way this class was structured. I enjoyed the freedom to be creative, explore different paths, and make my own decisions along the way. I strongly believe in the value of  research-based decision-making. As a graphic designer, I already love technology, being creative, and computer-based products. However, I was amazed at all the free and easy to use technology tools are available for educators. Lastly, I enjoyed the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and learn how to use 21st century technology in my classroom. I think it's important that we are not only comfortable teaching our content area but are comfortable with technology in our classrooms. I want to be able to grab my students attention and get them excited about art and the different material and techniques available. Technology will be my friend now and not my enemy!
