How your view of instructional technology has or has not changed over the course of the semester?
I have gained general experience and knowledge about the types of technology that is available and how it can be appropriately incorporated into the classroom. I feel more comfortable with challenging myself to use new technology.
The quality and appropriateness of what you have learned/created this semester.
As I've mentioned in some of my rubric reflection questions, I think for the Special Education teacher specifically the tools we've utilized in this class will be particularly useful with language arts. The SMART board activities provide auditory, visual and kinesthetic experiences, which are essential to language learning. The class Wiki is also appropriate for us to use with our classes and to serve as a forum for parents.
Evaluation of your comfort moving forward with technology.
I'm more confident than I was at the beginning of the semester, but I think the biggest challenge is the short timeframe of our classes. I would have liked to incorporate technology in a more meaningful way, but due to the semester being only 6 weeks long, it was difficult to spend the appropriate amount of time on each tool.
