Reflections
Completing the Instructional Technology Program at University
of West Georgia has been a wonderful experience. I have
learned so much that I been able to incorporate into my
teaching and to share with other teachers.
Coming into the program with very little knowledge of technology
made me a little anxious, but I have been able to accomplish
much; and I have become more confident when using
technology.
I have seen the importance of collaboration and teamwork while
completing the various assignments. Classmates responding
and suggesting on my posts have helped me throughout the
program.
I am very proud of the work I have completed and count it a
privilege to have worked with my classmates and professors.
