ECMP 455 has gone by so fast, I cannot believe it is over already.  In this short time I have learned a lot.  Some valuable points from this class include:

- Developing a PLN can provide resources, insight, and support.
- Don't be afraid to try new things!
- Make sure to address online safety with students and parents.
- We all have a digital footprint and that is not a bad thing.  We can determine our digital footprint by posting appropriate information.  Here is mine.
- Skype can connect anyone to the classroom including classes in other countries or experts on specific topics such as a geologist.
- Technology is always advancing so it is important to keep researching and connecting.

6 things I want to do in my internship...

- Introduce students to voicethread and give them the opportunity to make their own.
- Use either a wiki, blog, or website to communicate with parents, share students work, and post valuable resources.
- Use an interactive game (possibly with a Smartboard) to teach a concept more effectively.
- Integrate podcasting or Skype into the classroom.
- Use video documentation.
- Stay connected to twitter for support and resources!
