In this class I have learned about leadership. Also, I have learned more about technology in education. Not working as an educator makes me have a different perspective on how technology can be applied, but it was interesting to get the opinions of teachers and the different problems they have to deal with in regards to technology in their classroom. For me, it was really interesting to share opinions with fellow students, we all have different backgrounds in regards to education and technology and this discussions allowed us to learn from each other, and most importantly to see things from another perspective. I think this class has provided me with the necessary tools to prepare myself to be a leader in education. From the different podcasts and examples provided by Dr. Newberry to the discussions with my fellow classmates, they all provided great information that I can take into account when I'm faced with a decision that will benefit learners in the use of technology in educational settings.
Overall this was a great class. I enjoyed the different projects because not only did I aquire new technology skills, but I was engaged in projects that will serve me in my job as well as in my future as a professional in instructional technology. This class being online was great and it promoted greater communication with classmates than the classroom, sometimes we do not engage in conversations with all of the students in class, but using the blogs allowed us to communicate with everybody at least once.

Hi Edgar,
I also think that with the newly learnt thoughts, ideas, and skills from this class, my management and leadership ability increased one level. This course is very productive.

Hello Edgar,
I agree with your post; I am not yet working as an educator either. Therefore, I tend to see things in a light similar to yours. This has been a great course. We all learned a lot from this course, from each other and mainly from our instructor, Dr. Newberry.
There were indeed many positive things we all learned. What I found personally more valuable, was the topic of leadership. This topic really resonated within me and has made me realize that we are now a cut above the majority of the population; for that, we all should be very proud.
However, with privilege also comes responsibility. We must adopt the leadership role this course discusses. We must now lead the rest. It is our turn and the time is now.
Good luck to you Edgar, I hope to hear from you sometime soon.
Hi Edgar,
I think this was a great class for many reasons that your stated. One, we were able to see different perspectives from all different areas of education and leadership positions, and some perspectives that were not from instructors. Two, I think we all are now aware of the different areas of leadership we may pursue in the field of technology. Last, we were able to share many stories of our experiences which made reading the blogs much more enjoyable and interesting.
