and/ or teaching can make a lesson more fun and interesting to students. || to communicate with parents on a regular basis. || lessons. || about the class and what we are doing each week. || when I visit my own website and see how helpful it is to parents. || I believe I have met my short term goals through numerous ways. For example, did I not onlny take good notes but I also developed lessons using various types of technologies. Because of this course I now feel comfortable using technology in my classroom to teach lessons. I would change my long-term goals because through this course I was able to achieve my pervious long-term goals. For instnace, I not only made lessons that included technology but I also created a wiki space. One page on the website is dedicated to parents, it includes a classroom calendar as well as resources for the parents. My wiki also has a page, in whihc parents and students must work together to complete the assignment. Furthermore, if I had to change my long -term goals, I would say, I plan to use technology in my lesson plans atleast once a day. Now I feel comfortable using technology on a regular basis, where as before this course I was not comfortbale with technology at all. I believe there are numerous way as to which I can extend my learning. One way I plan to extend it is to continue to use technology to allow me to feel more comfortable with it and to also learn new things. I also plan to extend my learning by atending workshops or reading articles over technolgy in the classroom and ways to incorporate curiculum and technology in the classroom.
