EDPD 584: Final Thoughts and Future Actions!

 
Hello!

It's finally June (though it feels like August in Victoria)-- and it is getting harder and harder to stay inside, whether it is in the classroom or on the computer working on coursework! Luckily though, I am finishing one of those items tonight so I will have a bit less online time (at least until the next course starts in early July). That means more evenings of lounging on my deck reading a book, going for after-dinner runs, visiting Beacon Hill Drive-in for the best soft serve ice cream in Victoria...it doesn't get much better:)

However, that is not without being a bit sad that I won't be meeting online each week to learn about the multitude of amazing technological tools out there for learners in the 584 course! I have truly been amazed by not only what is available, but the depth of options out there. I've explored several extensions, websites, and programs over the past several weeks, and I've found some really cool options that I can now share with students. For my final project (also known as the Action Plan), I focused my thoughts on the idea of independence through access for struggling learners. I also really tried to tie this thought into my own personal experience, as it provided even more emphasis on the fact that each learner should have the chance to be successful and independent!

I'm not sure if anyone else is reading my blog these days, but- as our trusty guide into the assisted technology world- I know Paul is reading. So thank you, Paul! I've really enjoyed the course, and I am excited to continue to educate myself (and witness) the ever-evolving world of technology as it continues to expand and shape the educational experience we can give our students.
