...And So It Begins

After finally making it through week one of class, I have mixed emotions. I have taken an online class once before, but judging from week one, my online experience in this class will definitely be much different. This semester will be my first time using technology like WizIQ, and I'm not sure that I like it so far. The idea behind it is great - all of us meeting to discuss the course material. However, that is hard to do when our technology is failing us. I don't know about anyone else, but I was having a really hard time getting the program to work. Half of the time I couldn't hear and I had to restart my computer about three-four times over the course of the class. Hopefully our next meeting will run more smoothly!

Although the course can become overwhelming (we all know trying to balance working, classes, and school work can get really stressful), I'm confident that I will learn effective ways to incorporate technology into teaching and learning. I look forward to building upon my current knowledge of  technology and expanding my repertoire of resources to utilize in my future classroom. Throughout our next assignment, I plan on experimenting with technologies I haven't had a chance to use thus far in my education. Good luck everyone!
