Final Reflection

Looking back over this semester I think TPCK and SAMR are the two items that I have been impacted by the most.  I truly believe that if I can look at each lesson during the planning stage and make sure I hit the R in SAMR I will be serving my students well.  Some of the items or tools we covered were confusing to me and I couldn't seem to get it to work.  If I can incorpate technology in more than just a substitution way then I will be making a decent attempt of intergrating technology.  Intergrating technology is important to me because we are living in an age where just about every student has used some type of technology on a semi regular basis.  With that being the case some students may be more involved in class if the technology is intergrated into it.  It even increases the chances of some type of class discussion with the addition of some type of discussion board.

I want my students to interact and participate so I believe that the understanding from this class will help me include technology in a helpful and useful way.
