Learnings from TIE 300

After completing TIE 300, I have learned various new tools and information for using technology. First of all, I have learned the steps of "how to publish" my very own Blog. Prior to this course I wasn't familiar with Blogs or even how they worked. I usually stayed away from them because I didn't know how to maneuver them. Another thing I learned from this class, were presentation skills. Creating presentations was fun but the difficult part came when I had to present in front of the class. I learned to use my "teacher" voice. When creating presentations  I learned to not read to my   audience but rather keep text concise, and so most of the speaking. 

 In addition, encouraged me to use Google and its resource

es such as; Google drive, Google sites and Google docs. I found it helpful to have all my documents saved in the cloud which gave me access anywhere, at any time. As a result, I have a better understanding of tools offered by Google, and I'm using them to my advantage.

Finally, in this course I was introduced with Diigo, an easy way to bookmark and keep information all in one page. This was probably the most useful to me. Not only for school purposes but also for my own research. Diigo taught me to ho to stay organized and not have to print everything I find online! I feel that I started this course at a good level of digital literacy and computer skills. This course has definitely enhanced some of my prior knowledge. Overall, this coursed taught me how important it is to incorporate technology into the curriculum. TPACK, is an important concept I was introduced with, and I plan to use it throughout my educational philosophy. TIE 300 was a helpful course.
