After another week in this course I feel like I am continuing to learn more and more. I have been able to go back and read the postings, responses, and questions of my peers. After doing this I feel like I am learning a lot about my classmates and myself. After the learning theory assignment I saw how much we have in common as students and as teachers.

When reading the discussion section of questions for the professor it seems that I have a lot of the same questions the my classmates do and I am glad that they are asking them (before I get a chance to). And now that we are done with the first group assignment and class discussion I think I have a little better idea of what to do next time. (At least I hope!)

As for the technology categorization assignment this week I found that there are a whole lot of technologies out there that I was not aware of (even at my school). It was interesting to see all the technologies that my group members contributed. It was also interesting to look at the list of the other groups. It turns out that across the board we all have several technologies in common at out schools. I thought that it was neat that there are elementary teachers and high school teachers using the same technologies (I am sure a lot more in depth for the older students). It was nice to discuss and explain some of the technologies that I had listed to members of other groups. After this assignment I have learned that next time we have to choose postings to be graded that I need to make sure to discuss things more with my group members. The two postings that I submitted were not as much of a discussion as I would have wanted them to be. Next time I need to make sure that I have more dialouge with my group members. Overall the assignment seemed to be a success. Alice was our group leader and she did an excellent job getting all of our lists compiled together and our assignemnt turned in on time.
