Since I began the Principles of Instructional Technology class I feel that I have learned a great deal on how to use technology in the classroom. Before taking this class my idea of technology in the classroom would have been a standard PowerPoint presentation. I now know that there are many ways in presenting information. I will be able to use the technologies I learned in this course when I have a class of my own.
The WebQuest is a great tool that can present information and provide resources interactively. It is an exciting way to keep the students interest and focus on the task at hand. It is a nice change from the standard lecture and test that would be given in the classroom. With the WebQuest there are many options on what to include that the learning possibilities seem endless.

Before taking Principles of Instructional Technology I was not very confident in my knowledge of technology. I thought I knew a decent amount but was surprised by all that I have learned and the opportunities that exist. Technology in the classroom presents a great opportunity to step away from the traditional presentation and can assist in keeping the interest of the students.
