Blog #3 response

I am so thankful that I decided to take this class, it makes me excited that I chose to do the Ed Tech masters program. After 8 days I feel confident in several different new venues that I had little to no experience with prior to taking this class. I am just starting my teacher career and I feel that this technology knowledge is going to make me not only valuable in my district but will allow me to help other teachers in my building find things that they can use in their classrooms. I really liked the resource project for this class because it forced me to find good quality age appropriate material already available for me on the web. I was surprised at how many good quality sites there were for art education.  I know that educational technology will be a big part of my future career and hope that it will make me more valuable in my profession. There are not a lot of k-12 art educators who are also technologically inclined so I count myself as rare and love the advantage and edge that it gives me. It is also a perk that I truly enjoy learning and technology and hope to share that passion with my students as well.
