“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion to clarity...Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." - Melody Beattie

Thank you all for the support and encouragement. It's been quite a adventure. I wish you all well in your future endeavors.

ADIOS...

It was great meeting all of you and exploring the different technology tools out there. I have a learned a great deal from you all because we are all unique people. This class has taught me much more then just surfing the internet. There are many tools out there we can use in our classrooms. I forward to having classes with many of you in the future.
Merry Christmas and Blessings for a Prosperous 2010!! (thanks for the picture DAR)

Farewell

It was a pleasure taking this class with all of you. I hope you know that I value everything each one of you had to say even if i didn't reply to your post. I will you all the best of luck in you future academic pursuits.

It was a fun semester!

This semester has gone by really fast and I am kind of sad to see that our class has finally come to an end. I hope that everyone is more tech savvy now than they were a few months ago. I know I am. I am glad I took this class because I have been using some of the tools in my classroom. It was a fun trip and hopefully I get to see all of you again in another class. Happy Holidays!

This quote would fit today! Everyone scrambling to get the final touches done before they present. Funny how it's always the same in every class, even as teachers we find ourselves rethinking if the work accomplished or completed is done correctly. This is every student's life cycle. As for mine, it is just the beginning! Sure wish I am almost done or half way at least like the rest of you.

Thank you once again for your acquaintance and your great ideas. It was a pleasure being in class with such a wonderful team!

Good luck to all of you and I hope to share a class with you again!

"Confidence comes not from always being right, but from not fearing to be wrong."

I really appeciate this inspirational quote especially because part of my learning to gain confidence to teach with the Internet was to begin with "not fearing to be wrong" over and over again.

Gaining confidence to teach with the Internet has been a great learning experience. This course required hands-on application of a variety of Internet tools that was disseminated in several of ways.  First, an Internet tool was explored, next, we were tasked to implement the tool in a classroom and finally we were tasked to share it with our classmates in this course. As I reflect on the past four months of this course, I am convinced without a doubt that it was the hands on application of the Internet tools that provided me with the confidence to teach with the Internet.  Thank you all for being a part of such a great experience.

It's Over!

This class has been very challenging but I am so happy to have learned so much! I am now more technologically literate and feel like I am able to hold my own in this field of instruction. Thank you everyone for your support and encouragement because without it, I would have given up. Good luck to all of you.
