This past week has been met with mixed emotions as we conclude our class time portion of this term, and get ready to start our final student teaching placements. Although I am very excited to be back in the classroom, and to be one step closer to the end goal of being a certified teacher... it is sad to say goodbye to all the friendships made along the way with fellow students and professors. I will miss them all and look back on our time of learning together fondly.
As I think back to all that I have learned from my professor Mike Nantais in ICT over the past 2 years, it is amazing to reflect on how far I've come in terms of implementing technology into the classroom and in daily life. Some new digital skills/strategies I have acquired include:
- Creating videos
- Creating digital stories
- Creating websites ( In ICT I was able to make a classroom website and a professional portfolio online)
- Writing a blog
- Building a professional learning network on twitter and GooglePlus
- Using a bunch of great websites, such as: tagxedo, worlde, pixlr, pearltrees, weebly, animoto, photofunia, compfight, iMovie and Movie Maker, Prezi, HaiukDeckm etc.
- The list continues, these are just to mention a few!
I am so grateful for all that I have learned and will be able to take with me into the classroom. I owe a big thank you to Mike Nantais and my fellow classmates who have all taught me so much in the past 2 years. I wish you all the best of luck in the future!
Stay tuned for posts on my experiences in my final student teaching placement! ~ Miss A
