Closing thoughts after completing EDUC 5203

I have completed an excellent course where I was able to explore technology in education. I chose to focus my research on handheld devices and assessment. As a teacher assessment was always something that caused a challenge, due to time constraints, completing outcomes and reflection on learning. I have learned through my studies that the iPad is a very useful tool to organize lessons and assessments of those lessons. I have explored various apps such as Evernote and penultimate to name a few and these have opened my eyes to a new world of teaching. My hope is to share this new found knowledge with colleagues in the Fall and grow together my incorporating this or other technologies in the classroom.
