I expect that my semester in TPTE 486 will provide me with a solid background in how and when to best utilize technology to reach my teaching goals in the classroom. Though I'm already comfortable with many web 2.0 applications and gadgets, I've never thought about how I could use them to enhance learning among students. I hope to be exposed to easy, effective, and inexpensive strategies and tools that I can use in any classroom, even one that has limited computer capabilities. I'm also hoping that this class will provide clear guidance about when technology should be used versus when it's just a distraction.
