Just as you have been asked to reflect on your process through the various components of the course, we are asking you to now reflect on how we can make the experience more valuable and useful to our Ed Tech students (who happen to be the best!).

We know we asked you before what worked and what could have been better, but now that you have reached the finale, are there any further suggestions and ideas for future iterations of EDUC-511?

We appreciate your comments and feedback!


As a student of teaching I have wanted to know how technology is used in schools. If there were more examples of this presented in the Ed Tech program I believe it would be a great benefit to students. I am a digital native (have known how to use computer tech for more than 20 years) and have an easier time bridging the gap between what I know and learn of tech and how it can be used effectively in the classroom. I have noticed that teachers without the benefit of experience with tech have a great deal of trouble understanding how it can benefit their classroom.

Knowing how to apply the Raw Tech to the classroom curriculum is where the differences will be made that improve instruction to students. That is what I will strive for when I get a teaching job. I already understand how my Ed Tech classes can improve art instruction in high school. I would like to learn some effective and efficient applications of tech for all the grades. If something is successful in the lower grades I can take advantage of the prior experience of the student's experience.

I thought the use of Acrobat was incredible. I will use that as a stable communication between myself, other faculty, parents, and students. It is universal and capable. Information can be accessed from a great variety of resources if the student population doesn't have the money for personal computers.

The only aspect that I think would improve the class (511) and the entire program is a realistic application of tech to the classroom.
