As I completed and sent in my final project for this course, I was reflecting back on some of the assignments that were completed. I really enjoyed the development and maintenance of this website, and how rewarding it was to use it regularly in my classroom. Another assignment that I also enjoyed was hosting the professional dialogue. It brought forth a really interesting discussion following me asking my participants whether they had taught in a combined classroom or not. After much discussion it was agreed upon that despite not having technically taught in split-level classes, all of us, in one way or another, teach students in one class at varying abilities. Thinking of my grade 3 class, I have students working with building numbers to 10 and some working on complex multiplication problems. It's amazing to think of how beneficial technology can be to our students and to our lesson planning. It gives students the right-away to progress at their own pace and not feel as if they are lesser than their peers.
All in all, this was an enjoyable class and I look forward to taking more technology classes in the future.
