Reflections

     I have definitely found many things that we have learned in this class useful for my own personal benefit. For example, I have always wanted to learn how to use Photoshop, and although this is definitely a program that takes awhile to master, I'm glad that I at least caught a glimpse and was able to work on my own project. I won't go as far to say that the material we have been working on is challenging, because I am pretty computer literate and I think I pick up on things quickly. So while a program may be new to me, my prior knowledge about computers has allowed me to understand how to use these new programs or techniques fairly quickly. 
     I hope that during the second half of the semester we can touch upon some of the programs designed to meet the needs of students with special needs. I know that this information is not in the syllabus for the coming weeks, but it would be nice to discuss using SmartBoards or technology that serves as communication resources for students who have speech difficulties. Since I am studying to be a Special Education teacher, this material would be very beneficial to me. Overall, I believe that I have learned a lot in this class and hope that I can continue to benefit from it and put it to good use in my future role as a teacher.
