Knowledge gained....

After taking this course for the past five weeks, I feel as if I have gained a lot of knowledge about certain areas of education which I had previously been unaware of, or had a misconception of what they were really about.  Learning how different types of school's actually operate and some of the challenges they face really helped teach me things I knew nothing about, and it helped clear up some incorrect ideas I had always believed.

Being able to take on different educational roles in these assignments was a key aspect of helping me being able to see education from many different perspectives.  The tasks of creating our own school of the future and organizing multicultural curriculum were specifically fun and informative for me. 

Based on all of the things I have learned in this class, I now have so many different tools, ideas and resources that I can use when I become a teacher.  I feel I am now better prepared because I have so many different ways which I can accomplish certain tasks, deal with certain issues, and ways which I can help my students. 

I am aware of so many different ways in which I can be an agent of change. I now know of so many more tools which I can use to differentiate my instruction, especially relating to new technology.  I now know that I must always be learning and changing because I cannot be an effective teacher if I am not using the most current and effective methods with my students.  It does not help prepare my students for the future if I am teaching them using methods from the past.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class and I am always going to remember the valuable ideas I have gained from it.
