What a frustrating, eye-opening, hair-pulling, learning experience! This was truly blood, sweat and tears. I did't think I could do it. I'm not sure how many of the tools I will use, but I do think that the PLN and the digital stories are my favorites. Some of the tools I'm still trying to understand.
The outcome of the 11 Tool for me has been that I know have a broader understanding of just how much technology has changed and how it can help bring excitement into the classroom.
Despite your frustrating experience, thanks for having such a positive attitude about the experience! Yes, technology has changed. It is no longer an optional experience for our youth. It is an expectation. Hope you and your students have a great time continuing your exploration this year!
