Last Blog for the MEIT Cohort!

This cohort has affected me tremendously, allowing me to expand my educational horizons by becoming much more technologically literate.  Going through this diverse array of classes has helped me not only improve my technological savvy, but also learn how to teach to an advanced technological generation, along with troubleshooting amongst peers.  The areas that I feel had the biggest impact on me were any classes that dealt with Google Docs, Spreadsheets, or Sites.  However, I did gain a lot of valuable information from the statistics class.  Now, that's not to say the other classes weren't important, as they all had aspects that could correlate to the classroom.  If there was any particular area that I would have liked to have gone more in depth on, it would probably be digital storytelling.  Granted, this wasn't the most useful class in terms of teaching mathematics, but it certainly was interesting.  Overall, I couldn't have been happier with the cohort or the work that I did.  I will most certainly recommend this cohort to any aspiring teacher!

  1. I also enjoyed Digital Storytelling. I have a background in broadcast communication and this was kind of a modern day version of what I studied as an undergrad back in the day.
    I really enjoyed working with you in small groups. I have always had a profound respect for math teachers and you certainly supported that belief.
    Best of luck to you.

  2. Jarad, I hope the classes combined helped you to move forward in your teaching and you are ready to integrate technology into your classes. Best luck in the future.
