It seems odd to me that one class in the program is already complete! It seems like just yesterday when Trinie was talking me into doing the program with her. I have wanted to get my master's degree for quite a while so I am glad I am finally starting!
I can honestly say that I learned a lot in our "Introduction to the Internet" class. The thing that stands out most in my mind are the WIKI pages. I would really like to try that with my class. I am starting a new novel soon with my 7th grade literature class, and I am planning to do something with characterization on a WIKI page. I would like for the students to add information we find about the characters as we read.
Patty and I have also talked about implementing Moodle in our school. I don't know a lot about it yet, but that is definitely something I want to investigate. From what we saw, it looks like it would be a valuable tool.
I never realized Google had so much available! I'm a little ashamed to admit I thought it was a search engine, period. I think Google Notebook and Google Docs are great, and I want to use those with my class too. I think it would really work well to use Notebook with group research projects.
We've only finished one class, and I already have practical ideas I can take back to my classroom and use. I hope that continues throughout the rest of the program!

Hopefully all of the courses will keep you engaged and learning - the real and deeper understanding will occur as you integrate these ideas in your teaching. Good job
