Barbara Butterfield - Since I didn't know much before, everything I know now I learned or am learning in this class. I have really enjoyed making my own personal web site and although we aren't making power-points I have been fooling with some because I can use more tools now. I am not sure how to run everything together yet and it is a lot of information for me. Using all this is very time consuming and I haven;t ever sat still for so long a period of time to search and find all the wonderfull things that are available on all these new places and sites. I hope to share my web site with my students now and some teacher friends I have in China. I am a little slow at this but I will not give up. Syber space is calling!

Chris Becker- Most of this is all new to me. Now that I know what Web 2.0 consist of, I realized the I have been utilizing these resources before. However, this experience was only on social-networking sites. Learning to create these sites is quite interesting. It is a little intimidating at first, however, once you get the hang of it, it is more time-consuming than difficult. Everything I have learned up to this point is very useful and will probably put into practice in the future. The main thing I have learned is that the possibilities are pretty much limitless when it come to technology in the classroom.


 * Loretta Adams - The most useful information I have learned has been the delicious account. I have shared that information with other teachers at school and hope that we will all be linked to each others resources. As well, I was using SpellingCity.com in my class, but was not getting the full benefits because I did not realize I could sign up and save my own spelling lists. **

Diana Folk - I have learned a lot about Web 2.0 because I did not realize what it was, but I had used them before. Developing a wiki was an interesting task with all the links and searching that was done. I enjoyed learning how to download pictures and attaching them to my Web 2.0 Tool. I discovered a new tool, www.scrapblog.com that I believe will be an asset not only to my classroom but also my personal photos. I'm excited about learning technology and how I can implement it in my classroom. I do not have a classroom which I can implement these items but I'm waiting patiently for God to open the door so I can utilize all these wonderful new tools!

 ​ Julie Voss - I have learned a lot of useful information from this class. It is just amazing how technology continues to open up so many doors of opportunity! I really like the Delicious Account. Throughout the school year, I receive numerous e-mails from teachers suggesting great websites and resources. Now when I receive those e-mails, I immediately add it to my delicious account. I am also anxious to share this information with my sister-in-law who is going to college to be a teacher. I can add her as a user and then she can have access to my links!

Carol Pollinger - I guess what I have learned so far in this class is you can't know it all. The world keeps changing and there are always new things to learn. So far in this class I have enjoyed using the zPortfolio and this Wiki site. I enjoy just fooling around and seeing what I can make, and do.

​Becky Gruendler-What I have found that I like the most from this class is the Delicious Account. It is great being able to access it from anywhere! I have several family members and friends who are also teachers and cannot wait to share this site with them so we can add each other and access each others links. I am also enjoying all of the different Web 2.0 tools that everyone has been sharing. I had never even hear of Web 2.0 until this class, but I am enjoying using it.
