My learning goals

While I feel like I am, for the most part, computer literate, I do feel like I can get to know a little more about some things that I can use in my classroom. I already learned about the google sites feature which is pretty impressive and something that I plan to use in my classroom. The trouble wit hteaching English to high school students is that not all of them are going to be interested in English. In fact, the reactions that I get when I tell most people that I am studying to be an English teacher is a little bit depressing sometimes. I do plan to use blogger in my classroom for journaling and I'm glad that this course reminded me how easy it is to set up and use a blog account. I guess what I really want to get out of this class are things like that; simple things that are user-friendly and that my students will enjoy working with. I hope to bring technology into my classroom because today's student needs to know how to use technology to compete in the job field and also because using technology is a great way to engage students. I hope to learn more about wikis and things like that that I can use to make my classroom more connected and more interesting for my students.
