This course and the content we created was one of my favorites so far in the program. The assistive technology field experience was very beneficial to the students I work with daily and all the assignments were meaningful and very easily implemented into my classroom. Many of the things we learned about designing websites were especially useful. I enjoyed being able to examine different websites and critique ways to make them better and more user friendly. The emerging technology project and WebQuest design were easily the best assignments in this course.
The emerging technology project enabled me to take a deeper look at Schoology, a classroom platform I had briefly examined but was not ready to fully implement. During this course, I turned Schoology into the “only classroom website I’ll ever need” and my students loved it too! In addition, the administration at my school was so impressed with my presentation that they want me to prepare and deliver a “lunch and learn” in-service for teachers in the fall to show them everything Schoology has to offer.
The WebQuest design was my absolute favorite assignment of my program. I loved every aspect of creating this WebQuest and cannot wait to use it with my students next year! I also challenged myself by using Wix (since I was already familiar with Weebly) and found that Wix is a great platform for creating websites and I plan to use it in the future too. The design and creation of this WebQuest has inspired me to create more WebQuests for future use in my classroom and to share these great resources with other educators to help inspire their classrooms too.
