I probably would never have taken the time to try all the activities that were included in the class.  Yes, I spent a lot of time researching but I learned so much from taking this course.  I learned how to blog, wikis, slideshows and social networking.   It was fun networking with teachers at my school and discussing what activity you were on and how you could use these activities with your students. Our teachers would get together and discuss the different activities and help one another learn about the activities.  I tried some activities with my students and I would like to use a blog with my students.  It takes time to learn all these new technology items but I think it was worth it.  I liked the weeks that we could use as a catch up because some weeks can be very hectic at school.
