Growth in Technology

From my personal experience, I would like thank God for giving me the strength and courage throughout this course. I learn that technology is a good usage for the classroom. It has advantages and disadvantages because we have different learners. I would say that I gain a lot of information from this technology course it showed me different ways it can be use in the classroom. I had experiences with technology before, but there is always something new to learn as things changes so it gave me a boost. During this course we learn how to create a variety of items some was familiar and some wasnt. I learn the correct procedure in making a Visual Aid and it make me see the importance of it as a tool to help teach a subject and an addition to a lesson plan in a classroom, it helps children who are more motivated to learn by sight to become more interested in the subject at hand. Rule of thirds was something new to me I didnt had a idea of what is was about but during the course we learnt about it and I get a good understanding of it. I known about Video lesson but never made one, but throughout this course we was told to make one. I manage with it, sometimes it got a little frustrating but I was successful at the end. I want to thank Mrs Pradel for the effort she had put into our Technology class. She is really efficient, helpful and friendly. We never regret doing this course.
