I began this class with very little knowledge when it comes to using technology for the classroom, very little experience participating in online communities, and not a lot of skills with even basic applications that a lot of folks use daily.

Also, my tool kit and vocabulary has exploded!!!
It was slow going at the start. It took a lot of time. A LOT. And I would get frustrated by how cumbersome my process of learning was. But in the past couple weeks I’ve realized that I move through trying new applications and navigating them just a little bit more easily. And what is exciting about this is that my brain isn’t just fighting to understand how to use these tools, decode the language of them. I have the mental space to start seeing the possibilities in what they offer as learning tools. I’m excited to work with them, try things out, explore the possibilities.
I can’ t emphasize enough what massive growth I’ve experience over the past 7 weeks!

Below I’m sharing my Summary of Learning through a whiteboard animation created with PowToon. To make this video, I had to draw on a lot of skills that I still didn’t really have (working with audio files and learning this new web-based animation platform). And yes, it still took me a lot of time.
But, I took this learning in stride. I felt more able to intuitively decode or find the answers I needed. I felt more nimble in my brains ability to navigate these digital forms and tools.
I’m wrapping up this course feeling far more confident (and not quite as old) as when I started.
