Final Reflection

            “He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.”- Confucius. ED 638 is an excellent example of how to put that quote into good use. I learned and explored so many new and exciting tools that I am excited to bring back to my class. As a teacher, we have to constantly remember that learning never ceases. Learning is constant, it is in every minute of every day.

           

            As an owner of an IPad, IPhone, IPod, Laptop ect. there really is no excuse to not be a knowledgeable scholar of technology tools. I am thankful for this class as I was able to take the time to “brush up” on websites and tools. Of the tools that I have used in this class, Prezi which is a fun way to change “death by PowerPoint” into a fun presentation. I also enjoyed making and exploring a Google Earth based lesson plan. I am constantly trying to incorporate technology into my lessons at school and I had such an amazing narrow minded concept of Google Earth as just a tool I use for my military career. I am thankful to bring my knowledge of Google Earth into my classroom, especially to show my students the Seven Ancient and Modern Wonders of the World.
