This course proved to be very interesting. I was a bit worried when I read the mandatory course reading list and the text book on web design was published in 2003. I didn't quite know what to expect. Throughout the semester, however, a myriad of skills were addressed to ensure that I was capable of creating my own WebQuest for actual implementation in my course. The process, along the way, involved lessons on copyright, assistive technology, and an emerging technologies proposal, all of which, were very informative. I came to the class pretty proficient in most of the skills that were covered, but I still found myself learning through the weeks.
I can walk away from this course feeling like it has better prepared me to be a technology leader in my school because of the sheer practice that I was afforded with technology tools. I think the most valuable activity that this course offered was the emerging technologies proposal. For this assignment, I was able to research an actual technology that my school is currently implementing. The presentation that I created was actually used by my school, which is a great step forward for me.
