Final Refllections

Course Reflections:

I very much enjoyed this course, the topics discussed, and the relationships built. I feel I am walking away with a new intelligence related to the administrative end of directing technology. I feel that the course fostered learning because of its multi-faceted nature, covering a variety of topics relevant to technology education bringing in theory, academic literature and research findings. I am walking away with some great resources and literature to refer to later on in my career. The professor provided firsthand relevant knowledge on topics covered and backed them up with relevant real world links/stories. The class discussions and interaction with the teacher developed practical information and application of topics. They provided me with insight for my current position and for administrative perspectives of technology in education.
If I ever choose or have the opportunity to serve as a technology director I now possess a variety of understandings from the course that will help me be successful. It is amazing that technology directors are just expected to know this stuff. Learning from a class like this could save a technology director countless hours of research and headaches. I also enjoyed and learned from the broad variety of classmate’s backgrounds and perspectives. It was great networking and added priceless insight to the topics. I also learned a great deal more about incorporating blogs and wikis into classroom education.


My final reflection- the course exposed me to topics of which I would like to learn more about. It showed me some things that for my career it will be helpful to have a broad understanding of.

My only gripe with the course- I wish that the courses thoughtful problems where worth a greater percentage of the course grade. They took a significant amount of work and time and that should be reflected in the grade.
