What are Web 2.0 tools and how can you use them? This course introduce several Web 2.0 tools. Some of my favorite are Jing, Screencast-o-matic, and Vimeo. I have been able to conquer my fear of video-casting and screen-casting because of the practice (assignments) in this course.
The most rewarding part was implementing the Internet lesson plan. I was a little reluctant about teaching kindergarten students to use digital tools. My sweet babies surprised me. They quickly grasped the concepts of Google Docs and typing. They were eager to go the computer lab. Each day after lunch, I would hear, “Are we going to Google today?” My heart smiled each time they asked. I am looking forward to implementing this lesson again next year. I truly enjoyed this course and I feel better for teaching technology to my students.
