Exploring Popplet: My Final Reflection

I decided to use Popplet to create my final course reflection. I like using graphic organizers with my students and I figured this visual representation would be a good way to highlight the things I've learned in this course.

My Popplet is a reflection of the different tools I learned about in this course (some of which I have already implemented into my own teaching: a class blog, voki). This will be a nice reminder for me to have as well. Once this class has come to a close, I'll have this nicely organized visual graphic of the different tools I'll be walking away with.

Of course, the tools themselves aren't the only thing I learned in this class. One important fact that I'll always remember is that technology should be implemented into our lessons, not the other way around. We have to use these technologies appropriately given the lesson we are teaching. I also will remember that one of the greatest factors of using technology in the classroom is to enhance student collaboration and interaction. I learned so much from my own peers in this class--I want my own students to do the same.
