EDUC 330 Reflection
I think EDUC 330 was my most practical class of the semester. It’s not that I didn’t learn anything else about education in any other classes, but the knowledge that I’ve gained through this one can certainly be more actively evidenced.
My favorite tool that I started using because of the class is delicious. I’m a big fan of organization and I like that I have so many resources compiled in one place. The internet really has so much information available, for not only my use but also for sharing with my students.
As I become more involved with students, in observations and student-teaching, and eventually in my own classroom, I think I’ll have more to say in this edublog. I can see the value in having a separate journal of my experiences with and opinions of education; in my personal journal, I’m afraid that my musings would just be lost. Again, that desire for organization.
Another new resource is wikispaces, which I can appreciate for its ease and its being free. I think it’s a good way to present my portfolio. I can also see how I could use it in class to present new concepts or assignments in math. It’s easy enough to use that I could even have my students use it for a project.
All in all, I think I’ve been exposed to a lot of great new information and resources for my career as an educators. I’m looking forward to implementing them as much as I can.

Practicality is my middle name so I’m glad you’ve learned some tools you can use. I do hope you’ll continue writing in your blog. It’s a great tool for reflection and it can be useful to others. I’ll keep it in my aggregator so I can see what you are up to!
