This class has been very enjoyable. I have learned a lot about emerging technology that I was not aware of before taking this course. I never realized how many different ways that technology can be implemented into the classroom or how important it is to include it in the classroom during today's times. I really enjoyed all of the projects and it is hard to choose a favorite. I know that the there are certain assignments that I completed in this course that I will most likely be using in my teaching future. Particularly, I will be using the Powerpoint game that I created. I feel as though this course allowed for creativity as well as great information about how technology should and should not be used. As our world becomes more technologically advanced, this course taught me that it is important for teachers to be educated about the new technology available to them and students. Overall, this course was very beneficial!

Spreadsheets As Gradebooks
I tweeted earlier on Twitter that I have never used a spreadsheet before my technology course required its use through Google. We created a gradebook using this popular search engine. I had learned prior about spreadsheets, but never really saw a situation in which I would use them. However, after doing the previously mentioned assignment, I realized that spreadsheets may become very useful in my future. It was effortless to put the points all in and the sheet calculated the totals for each student without me doing anything. As I completed the steps of the project, I realized that this was a simpler and time-saving program to use instead of using a traditional paper gradebook. This program will definitely be a vital resource to make being a teacher easier. The idea of anything making the fact that I will be a first time teacher in a few years is comforting. I am glad that my technology class introduced me to this!
