FINAL REFLECTION

 I learned a lot of different things in this class.  I learned a large variety of different types of technology that I can use as a future teacher.  It also taught me a bunch of different ways to share me testimony and share the gospel through technology.  One of the things that I got out of the class and that I hope to use in the future is creating a website.  I always wondered how to do it and I thought that you have to be extremely tech savvy in order to make it look good.  But I never knew about Google sites until I took this class.  Google sites are so helpful and not complicated to use.  As a teacher I hope to make my own class website so that my students will feel more connected to me and be more confident in what I expect in class.  Another useful thing that I learned in this class was how to use Studio code. This was really helpful to learn because I know I will be using it as I continue through my schooling here at BYU.  Studio code is helpful because it will help me break down all of my good and bad teaching habits and better be able to see what I can improve upon.  I feel the best way for me to become a better teacher is to watch and evaluate my teaching and studio code makes it much easier for me to do that.


Before this class I was very uncomfortable with technology.  I knew how to use the basics like the internet, power point, and a word processor.  But I wasn't confident in my ability to learn other aspects of technology.  Those things we learned, such as editing videos, making a website, and studio code, are things that I  never thought I'd be able to understand. But through this class I learned that technology can be mush simpler to understand than I originally thought.  I now have more confidence in myself to use the various types of technology that we learned but also confidence in myself to learn new programs that I have never used before.
