Week 8 Writing Prompt Response

Experiencing Park University ED 491
Park University ED 491 far exceeded my expectations. Each and every class session was loaded with useful ideas for integrating technology in teaching and learning activities. In a time when it seems like keeping up requires continuous, substantial reinvestment in the latest, greatest technology equipment and applications, this class showed the smart way to make the most of technology using software and equipment you have or can obtain inexpensively. PhotoStory 3 and Audacity definitely qualify as practical applications anybody could use in their classroom. Through assigned projects designed for use of those applications, class members were forced to find out for themselves just how possible it is to produce customized teaching tools quickly and easily with technology. I would not change a thing about this class, save remaining dedicated to delivering information about the most recent free, simple technology tools teachers would benefit from knowing about and experiencing. Thanks for a terrific learning experience.
