Reflections . .

It really does feel impossible that this semester is quickly coming to an end. I am almost finished with all my assignments, and this will be my last post for this class. I am so thankful for this course and the knowledge gained during the last 15 weeks. It is incredible to truly explore the topic of technology in teaching and learning.

I didn't find this class overly challenging. I feel that I learned a lot, but in a way that suites my learning style. I wasn't required endless hours of reading textbook chapters, followed by assignments that I found only mildly engaging. The reading material has been very easy to follow and the assignments engaging and hands-on. My kind of learning!

The biggest challenge for me this semester has been keeping myself organized at all times. I took online courses in undergrad, but not four at once. It has been challenging to keep track of what I am doing and when I should be doing it. This was also a very surprising challenge because I am an incredibly organized person. It was definitely an adjustment.

Overall, I have enjoyed this semester very much. I finished undergraduate in 2010, so the last two years I have spent focusing on surviving enjoying the first two years of motherhood. It has been an incredible transition to get back into the swing of classes, assignments, and deadlines. I have no doubt the information learned in this class will continue to serve me during my graduate school experience and in the future when I am finally in my career.
