Reflection This course has challenged me to learn and to use more technology in the classroom as well as in my personal life. There were a lot of times I had no idea of how to move forward in the assignment due to never using that kind of technology before. I never created a blog or recorded myself in a discussion post, luckily, I did not struggle too bad. This experience has made me embrace the idea of continuous learning. As educators we are also life-long learners, therefore it is important for me to stay updated on the latest advancements. Striving for growth and adaptability will enable me to effectively integrate technology into my classrooms and meet the evolving needs of students. I now understand the importance of identifying the specific learning goals and student needs that can be addressed through technology tools. This will allow me to increase the impact of technology on student engagement, learning outcomes, and creativity. I always enjoy learning and collaborating with my peers throughout the course. I really enjoyed sharing ideas, resources, and experiences with fellow educators. I enjoyed using resources like the class text because Roblyer and Hughes (2023) provided a lot of insight of technology role in the classroom. This allowed for a different perspective and allows me to go into a wider knowledge base. Building professional connections and participating in communities of practice can provide ongoing support and inspiration. I am looking forward to this upcoming school year because I have more confidence and an understanding of how and why technology should be included in the classroom. Hughes, J. E., & Roblyer, M. D.
