Final Class reflection

There are so many take-aways from this class overall, that I don't really know where to begin.  I was exposed to so much and I have to be realistic that I'm not going to remember all of it nor will I be able to use all of it in the immediate future - something that would cement it in my head and make it "automatic" in my day to day work.   I think some of the Google Docs - the survey, the "powerpoint", etc. - will be ones I use and use often.  Before this class - I didn't even know how to access them or that they really even existed.  I heard about "google docs" but I had no idea what that meant.  I feel a sense of accomplishment with just gaining some knowledge in this area.  Also, with my project, I am learning how to effectively use the Flip cameras.  I am slightly humbled with this work as I believe it is an "easy" tool to use and I have had some problems with it.  Regardless, however, I am learning from my mistakes and I believe that I will be using them more frequently as I continue with my work.  Last Saturday and this evening, I truly enjoyed being exposed to Imovie and Garage Band - including podcasts.  I don't know how often I will use them but now I have less "fear" regarding them and that will go along way as I continue to make educational technology a priority.  Thank you Todd for a great class.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.
