wowowowow what a lot we have learned today thanks

Perhaps we could create groups to allow those members of the class who need more basic support to learn necessary skills and those who are more advanced to explore more in depth topics.

I was thankful to have a fellow student work with me who know more than I . I would not have kept up without her directions.

I can relate to the students who get frustrated.

With such a wide range of skill-levels in this class, is there a way that those of use who know a lot of the basics can be given tasks that don't seem to be a good use of our time?

I need the skills necessary for doing the scavenger hunt, so think I need to focus more time on skill development. I do, however, see the need to re-think the way I view and use technology for the benefit of my students and myself. Thanks.

I would like to thank you as our instructor. I would like to learn more and looking forward for the next class.

Okay...this is going to be a good one ...as in the begining I'm a turtle and will continue to move so until I'm totally comfortalble and confident...and I know you will aid me in this process. See you on the 15th.

It was interesting to grapple with the tech spectrum. I was able to clearly designate between the three different levels of tech uses,yet I can barely function at the orange level. Please be mindful of the frustration levels with beginning tech learners. I think it would be helpful to review our comfort levels with tech and pair beginners with more experienced people. When someone is "green" the obvious does not always appear obvious. Thanks- :)

Frustration is good! It means that you are involved and are trying to solve a problem. Don't shrug it off as annoying or treat it as obstacle. A lot of things I will be asking you to do, CAN be done! Work your frustration into problem-solving, ask your colleagues (I greatly appreciate the help of the more advanced students! It is part of life, and it is part of this course, and you are a very important part of this emerging community!) and me and use the handouts - they have been designed to be very helpful.
And most importantly, this is NOT a computer literacy class, nor is it an advanced computer skills class, if you thought so, I apologize for not making this clear. This is a technology INTEGRATION class focusing on ways to enhance your classroom strategies by using technology and the constructivist approach. Hope this helps!
I appreciate everyone's comments and your contribution!
If you start feeling frustrated - slow down! Things often take time, so don't compete with others, focus on the progress you are making compared to your own level of comfort with technology, and remember it's about integration, not knowing where that button is, and it takes much more than a tech-savvy person to make a good classroom. I am a techie - yet, I guarantee you do a better job in your classroom than I would right now! Think positively! :)
For those who felt shy, please feel free to participate more next time we meet! Looking forward to our next meeting!
