So we've now come to the end of our Living and Learning with technology unit! Can't believe this unit is over and more so I can't believe how much I've actually learnt over the semester! At the beginning I was sceptical about the unit, I thought that I had a good grasp of all the technology I would need for a teaching career....how wrong was I? Although I had a relatively good knowledge of technology....enough that would have gotten me through, I have learnt so many valuable lessons and explored many new websites and programs! I truly believe this unit has been invaluable for my future career!
I've learnt many new things from creating a website, new ways of social networking, interactive whiteboards and Wiki spaces. All tools which will without doubt be handy in the future!

One very important aspect that I have gained from this unit is that of 'authentic learning'!  I believe this is essential as it encourages students to be active in their own learning, for them to explore and engage in their tasks. This unit has not only been about us learning how to make authentic tasks for students but also about us doing authentic tasks. Rather that being given the task with structured outlines we have been handed a very broad outline and have had to explore, research and create projects that are results of our own learning! Truly a fantastic way of learning!
