Although all the tools are important, for the moment I think #s4, 8,9, and 10 are what I want to use right away. Eventually all tools and anything else I can learn will only show that I can use them all alike.
I plan to use the 2 videos I chose in tool 4 for welcoming back my students from Summer break. I think it will be an excellent way to break the ice and get them to share aloud and begin the community building required for a successful school year. Eventually, the process will lead to writing about their personal excperiences. In addition, this will lead to reading books about the same subjects discussed during reflection time.
This whole process has truly been fulfilling and has only engraved more deeply my thoughts about the importance of technology being a part of education.
I know incorporating technology is a must for the future of education. This process just made me realize that knowing this fact is not enough. It reiterated that internalizing it so that I may grow as a an educator is critical.
