Reflections on TuttyTech 571

I will be taking quite a bit more than one thing from EdTech 571. This was not only my first EdTech class, but it was my first online learning experience. This class has been a series of firsts for me, which has made it an engaging process. Each time I found a new set of assignments posted on the site, I had no idea how I would complete the task. My lack of understanding what I had gotten myself in to made itself clear with every assignment. As I made my way through the work, I felt that I was unwrapping a glimpse into a new world, and one I found to be a challenge and an inspiration. I am rapidly coming to the realization that the world of the Educational Technologist is far more interactive than I'd previously thought. The image of working away in isolation is giving way to one of leadership. I am also discovering just how integral the role of the Education Technologist is beginning to play in the field of education. I feel I was fortunate to have the teacher and cohorts with whom I was able to work. I've enjoyed my firsts in this class and am hoping that the classes I will be taking further into this program will be of the same caliber both in quality of instruction and collaboration. Thank you, and now... back to my paper!
