From+My+Heart

//**Wow, I am done with my Wiki and I would like to tell you some things...**//



I would like to begin by thanking you from the bottom of my heart for being there every step of the way through the semester. I know that I gave up in the middle of the semester because it felt like everything in my life was falling apart. I was very depressed, I was having panic attacts and I didn't want to get out of bed. I stopped caring, and this is not something I have ever done before. You have been so helpful and understanding, I know that I couldn't have pulled myself out of the slump without your compassion. I entered into this class quite closed minded, because technology has always been very frustrating and difficult for me. I wasn't sure how I would use it in the classroom because I thought that I could teach without it. You have opened my eyes and showed me that while it may be difficult, it is very doable and the children will be more interested and eager to learn because of it. We are not living in the stone age anymore. Our entire world uses technology, so why should I not get with the times. I think that I could have put a bit more time looking at other ways I could tie in technology because there is much more out there than what you showed us. I wish I would have chosen another topic area, because it got old by the end of the semester. Being a teacher is difficult, I don't think that people explain how difficult it can really be, I have a long way to go before I am prepared but this class gave me such insight that I believe I will be able to do it with a lot of hard work and determination. Thank you for everything.
