Specific outcomes include students:
1. use the classroom technology resources as a tool for higher-order thinking and personal inquiry.
I feel that this outcome affects me because since the world is becoming so technology oriented, as I teacher I too have to incorporate technology into the classroom. If I were to not know anything about technology I would not be able to teach my students anything about it.

2. design either web-based or multimedia presentations to showcase their research (e.g., information gathering) on topics that I assign in class.
I feel that I have done this to some extent, when presenting presentations via power point. Also because I did have Instructional Technology I have some experience with youtube and creating a picture story.

3. use our technology resources daily to access the Internet, send email, and/or plan classroom activities.
I do access the Internet daily, for different things such as; research, email, facebook, blackboard, etc.

4. create their own web pages or multimedia presentations to showcase what they have learned in class rather than preparing traditional reports.
Since we have created a blog for this class I think that this will serve as a good showcase of all of the projects I have completed and how much I have learned while taking this class.

5. use the Internet for 1) collaboration with others, 2) publishing, 3) communication, and 4) research to solve issues and problems of personal interest that address specific content standards.
I feel that I have already done this when trying to coordinate my units for other classes, as well as when performing group work, or even just when attempting to get ideas for assignments.

6. use different technology resources for personal or professional communication and planning.
Now that we have Skype that is a new and fun way to communicate online that I did not know about. I find this type of communication interesting because before this class I had never even heard of a program that could do that. Common types are aim, email, facebook, etc. however I feel that since I am in this class I will be exposed to numerous technology advances that will greatly help me in my classroom.
