But as we learned about each new tool in surprisingly easy to manage steps, I found that I enjoyed these new technologies and even bookmarked them to use later on in my teaching career!

I also enjoyed all of the suggestions used in the textbook for how to apply these new (or even well-known technologies such as twitter) to the classroom. Before this class, I had never considered the educational merit of twitter or thought that I could "gamify" my classroom which I now look forward to doing.
Overall, I really enjoyed this class and am glad that I took it. If I were to have any comments as to what could be improved upon, possibly add more digital tools to select from. There was a great variety, but when I found a tool that I liked, I found that I wanted to see more links to similar tools.
I value what was learned in this course and will hold onto it for the future. Thank you for the positive experience, I now have a better opinion on online courses.
