The Wrap-Up

It is obvious how technology has affected education in this day and age and why classes such as this one not only exist, but are able to exist. The most important thing that we can do though is to make sure we continue to use all of the new technologies, software, and advancements as educational aids rather than have them completely replace the teacher and the need for a thorough understanding and not be reliant on something to do the work/thinking for us. You will only get as much out of something as you put into it. You can see a prime example of that when you look at some of our blogs. Because some of us have the resources (i.e. time, education, technology at home, available help) they can make a much more professional and really an overall better blog than those of us who this may be their first time doing something of this nature. This was unfamiliar territory for me and that was evident. I learned a lot from this class, but it took putting a lot into it. It's important that I continue to become familiar with all the new technologies, programs, and software as they come out because they are going to be playing a more increased role in our every day lives.
