Final Reflection

I can honestly say I have really enjoyed this class. I was not aware of half of the technology available to teachers and students until taking the class. I also appreciate the opportunity to not only express my opinions about issues affecting the use of technology in schools, but actively research and find solutions to each problem or issue. I also appreciate this class because it showed me how to create a fun and interesting learning environment for my students by incorporating the use of technology in my class room. I was not aware of the many different ways technology could enhance the learning experience of my students.
I not only see the benefits of this class for my career as a teacher but I enjoyed doing podcasts, blogging, and researching for our group projects and discussions. This is a great class, honestly. Dr. Tashbin also created a stress-free environment for us which I greatly appreciated!!!

Glut of Google....

This article was hilariously true. I have researched the internet many many times for the cause of common everyday ailments and come up with a list of possible disease I may have. For example, recently I Googled "fatigue" and discovered that I may have clinical depression, Lupus, or -my favorite- chronic fatigue syndrome. "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" is a fancy term for sleep deprived...in other words more sleep is the simple cure for my list of diseases that Google told me I had.
I do agree with the solution suggested by the article. I do think medical content should be filtered more. I think that medical websites should allow you to your age, symptoms, family history, and question or complaint before offering unnecessary prognosis' to feed the already paranoid tendency of the human brain.
