Wrap-Up (D/13)

I think what most makes me say “that’s neat” is the fact that technology can and is attempting to do so much. Because before, it took so much longer to find out that something either did or didn’t work. It took a long time (years and often decades) to collect data about things. However, because of the strides that are being made in technology, patterns may be detected earlier.

I no longer have to try to find every study that was done on something. I will soon be able to go to a database for example and get the latest information on brain scans as the information is coming in and being compiled with other studies of its kind. That means that I can keep up with the media and information I need to ensure that I am using the most effective resources for my students. Perhaps the most important thing is that the information has been proven to be effective.

Everything else aside, my favorite activity of the semester was embedding the youtube clip into my blog. It was hard to find, but I was able to find one of the simplest and funniest clips (I thought). I felt that it added a little comic relief to my otherwise serious blog. I also thought that it captured a side of me that most people don’t see (the funny side).
