I learned several ways to connect with students during this classroom technology class. I now have at my disposal, numerous tools in which to engage students. More importantly, I learned skills that will help me reach all learners, including visual, audio, and kinetic learners.
Screencast-o-matic was my favorite tool to learn. This feature creates endless opportunities for engaging students!! As a teacher, if I know in advance that I am going to be absent, I can prepare lessons or notes so that my classes will not fall behind due to my absence. In addition, I can send notes regarding the days lessons to students who were absent.

Searching the Web was another class I enjoyed since it opened my mind up to different ways of searching the Internet. Google and other search engines are fine, but worlds are opened up by using different search engines!! Wolfram Alpha is an amazing website and search engine.
Spezify is another terrific search engine, however this site is designed specifically for kids. Since it is vetted by the U.S. Library Association, teachers can feel comfortable sending students to that site!
Overall, this was a great class. I learned so much new information that will enhance my teaching capabilities!!
