EDLD 5363 - Web Conference Reflection 6.17.2012

The web conference from June 17th was interesting to me, as I realized that everyone currently taking this course is not in the Educational Technology Leadership program that I am a part of. Dr. Abernathy addressed and welcomed some of the Teaching Leadership students (I believe that was the name of the program), and told them that these technology courses were not just designed for those that would classify themselves as "techies." She assured them that courses like this one were really designed for all teachers, and that the material that we address and the assignments that we complete are really valuable for all teachers. Through discussion board postings and group work, I have realized that even within the EDLD program, we have educators from all sorts of backgrounds and technology experience levels. Most of the readings and tasks really seem to have been accessible for every participant, and I can see how lots of the knowledge I am gaining would be helpful to all classroom teachers. I hope that I continue to have opportunities to learn new things and share them with my colleagues this upcoming school year.
