I enjoyed this workshop more than most workshops that I have participated in. I really liked the format with many choices so we could all personalized the workshop to what will help each of us the most. I enjoy completing things online and therefore that was not a problem. My biggest challenge was my own personal time management, hence the reason that I'm finishing on the last day but I am finishing.
I always felt that I was comfortable with technology and not afraid to dive in and learn new things about technology. This workshop taught me that I'm a little more timid about trying new things than I originally thought, but it pushed me to try anyways. As educators, we push our students to try new things and that is what this did for me. I now know how to blog and have a twitter account for professional purposes. I found that I liked Buncee for slideshows but I'm not sure how much I will use it in the future because you have to pay for it for classrooms. I will continue to look for new online programs though to introduce to the students so that they see there is a wide variety of available on the internet, they just need to explore. I also look forward to exploring the newer technology that is trending right now and I think that my new Twitter account will help me to keep up with the continuous changes and developments.
I hope that this is offered to me again because I would love the opportunity to learn about more of the topics and practice my personal time management skills. I would encourage a few of my co-workers to also try this professional development program.
So glad you enjoyed participating and felt it was worthwhile! Thanks for participating. Hope we can offer the course again next year.
