Assignment 5.2 - Reflections

I feel that I gained some valuable technology resources in this course.  I really liked the flipped learning and live binders.  I feel that I can use these two technology resources in my classroom this year.  I also feel that I am strong enough technologically to use these resources effectively and I also feel comfortable enough to teach them to my fellow teachers.  This course also gave me some inspiration to find more ways to integrate technology into my classroom.
I am almost done with my campus supervised hours.  I need to join another committee on campus and I would like to learn more about the budget on campus.  Other than that I only have a few small things left to do.
I have completed all of the data collection for my research project and I am ready to start writing my paper.  Creating spreadsheets with all of my information was very time consuming but I have it done.  I am going to start writing my paper this week.

Assignment 5.1 - Web Conference Reflection

I attended a session with Dr. Jenkins.  I was surprised to see that we reached the limit of 100 participants.  But even with the high number, Dr. Jenkins was able to answer any questions that were posed.  The session was a little hectic with all the questions and side conversations going on, but I was able to get some answers to questions that I had about our assignment.  I would have liked it to have been a little more structured and without the side conversations, but, all in all, it was a good experience.
