- Group work: Mike and Chris you guys are awesome. You've both got great ideas and have unique experiences that you are willing to share. It might have been hard to get together some times, but you guys were great group members.
- The graphics assignment: GoAnimate - my students love the program and have made several animated shorts with it. It is a great program and I'm glad to have been exposed to it during this course.
- Talking about proper tech usage - We cannot just throw tech at students and expect magic to happen. This class was heavy into not only the hows of tech usage, but also why we need to implement tech in order to keep relevant to our students and our world.

I have done that one, and obviously, after reading the book, I did not have that one very well thought out. Lesson plans and targets (standards)are a critical part of using technology correctly.
