Question: What did you learn from this course: about yourself, your technology and leadership skills, and your attitudes?

“Media is the language of kids.” (Torres, 2002) “These are kids who may not take to learning by reading a textbook or listening to a lecture often jump at the chance to understand complex concepts by presenting finished products in the form of film, Web documentary, or a Microsoft Power Point presentation.” (2002) The most profound learning in this course is children desire to learn and express themselves through multimedia. This idea has always been a part of my attitude as a teacher. My first school I taught at was a pilot for technology, Atkins Technology School in Shreveport, LA in 1993. I developed a love for technology then and knew it had its place in our educational future. My technology and leadership skills began there, and this course has only solidified my desire to continue pursuing a position as a leader in educational technology. With this attitude, I endeavor.
