One last thing

     There were so many discoveries that I made during this process! I have never been computer savvy so I was surprised that I learned so many things, and the tools that I learned about where generally easy to use and understand. Some tools that were really beneficial included the RSS feed and the social bookmarking. The RSS feed allowed me to get updates from all my favorite sites all in one place. The social bookmarking allowed me to put all the websites that I use in one place, and to tag the websites so that I can find them easily in the future. This program just opened up a whole new world of learning for me. I can use tools such as the podcasts to learn about teaching from other educators. I was surprised at how easy it was for me to learn all these tools and to be able to use them effectively. The one thing that I had the most problems with was posting videos to my blog. In order to make this program better, the makers could go into more detail on how to post videos to the blogs. There are so many of these tools that I can use when I become a teacher. I can make podcasts to help my students keep up with the curriculum if they missed a class. I can use the RSS feed to keep up with important news about education.
     My educational journey will not end here! I need to keep up with these tools that I have learned about, and continue to learn about new tools. I will also use these tools in my classroom, such as the podcasts. I may even create a blog for my classes in order to keep parents updated and allow students to showcase their work.
