I enjoyed this class for the opportunities it gave me to glimpse into the experiences shared through each classmate’s blog. I have learned from reading the stories related to each week’s topic.
I have a broader perspective about using technology as a tool in any educational setting. It has also helped me understand there are many variables that influence the level of technology implemented in a classroom. The level of implementation will depend on the imagination, creativity, tenacity and perseverance of the teacher willing to do it. The amount of technology available is not as important as the amount of experience and willingness to experiment and use it to benefit all involved.
One of the most interesting things I realized was that regardless of what name we give it, just about everyone has had an experience with the Ed Norman Syndrome. The personal development anecdotes were very insightful as well, but what I saw was that everyone learns something at any training session, even if it is a mental note not to repeat the same mistake if they are ever in charge of a professional development plan.
Indeed this course has given me a different perspective of technology in the classroom.
I believe learning has occurred, thanks to all of you.

Hello
About Me
- Rosa
- Murrieta, California, United States
- I have been in the Marine Corps for over 20 years. I have to say that being in the military is not about money but about loving what you do. Pretty much like a teacher. When I look back, I see that the military has given me the opportunity to play many roles: student, teacher, instructor, mentor, peer and leader. I have learned a lot and I am thankful.

I've always enjoyed reading your post. You make a lot of great points. I think that this class was great. I really enjoyed communicating with others through blog post.
Hi Rosa,
I have been waiting for your post all week, and finally I can read your post. I enjoy your postng very much.
I like it,when you say "...not to repeat the same mistake...". That is the true leaning. Surely, I will implement all I learn from the sessions we had to enhance my job.
It is great to be in the same class with you.
I agree! I've always freely admitted that I can and most often do, learn the most from my peers in classes and at school. Nothing against classes, we learn there too but I think that's the power behind collaboration and simply talking! :)
Rosa,
I think the blogging allowed us to see different perspectives and experiences in the field of teachnology leadership roles. I enjoyed reading each others blogs during the week and commenting on them. I definitely believe that learning has occured.

I agree with the comments you have made, in my opinion, a learning experience is the soemthing more that you walk away with than what you came with. So I really believe that I have learned something from all of the postings made by my classmates.
It has been interesting to read the blogs from everyone because we all have shared similar experiences yet we are all at different places. Thanks for sharing your ideas and thoughts.
