Course Reflection

This class challenged me way beyond what I could have imagined. This is a good thing. The readings were essential to the concept of adapting our curriculums to meet the needs of our students today. I was hesitant at the thought of having to read the books but once I began reading, I realized how pertinent they were to the topic. As far as the hybrid concept, I walked out of the first class wondering how I was going to pull it off, being as unsophisticated on the computer as I am. With each assignment, I gained more confidence and self-esteem as I was able to interact with my classmates using 21st century technology. I also liked how Dr. B. made us collaborate with other classmates on the specific assignments. This prevented me from procrastinating on the projects, as I didn't want to let my classmates down. (That was a neat trick, by the way, Doc.) Another thing about taking this course is that it provided stimulation for my teaching, once again proving that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks.
