I admit that when I saw web design as a part of this course I was excited. I ended up learning how important it can be to provide multimedia and web design to all ages in education. It made me think about how to really incorporate it in my new school year for working with primary grades. I was actually stepping outside of my comfort zone because I was not into web design. I think it intimidated me to be in charge of a site that everyone would be able to see. I think this was class that encouraged me to really become more confident in my role as a technology leader and coach. I want to be able to have experience in all types of technology so I can be able to help other people step outside of their comfort zone of technology.
I think this course was very effective in teaching me about how I can help create a safe environment of educational technology for my students. I think this could help with those teachers who are concerned about students being exposed to too much technology and not enough content related to their education. The course really made me understand how I can leave a positive digital footprint on educational technology as a coach/leader in my school and district. The information taught to me in this course gave me more confidence as a web designer and how to critically look at others sites to see if what I am looking at and sharing is educationally sound and purposeful for students.
