Post 8 - Have I learned anything from this class?

I can honestly say that I learned so many useful things in this class that it is a real challenge to pin point just one thing in particular. From rubric templates to audio and video programs and websites, it's a bit of a blur. However, I will be using this class and the things that I have learned as a benchmark in the near future for things that I do in the classroom.

The screencasts will be making a regular appearance on my class websites or blogs, since I haven't decided yet which one I will be using next semester. One of the things that I will start using a lot more when I plan my classes and assignments is the rubric creator. I found that it really helps provide me with an objective view of how the student would interpret the assignment.

Another really helpful part of this class was the introduction to creative commons and copyright infringement. This issue in particular is something that I will take much more seriously and look forward to passing on this knowledge to my students. When I mentioned it in class last week many of my students were both surpsrised and embarrassed about their lack of knowledge in the area of copyrights.

Overall, this has been a great class and it's unfortunate that it has to end so quickly. I have learned a lot and look forward to making use of the things I have learned in the next semester and beyond.
