Prior to this course (5352), I had very limited knowledge about technology in education.  I know how to  function personally with gmail, Facebook, Pinterest, blogs, and basic smartphone functions.  This course opened my eyes to so many options for using technology in the classroom.  I was unfamiliar with LiveBinder and that has been a great resource.  I was also unfamiliar with google docs.  I really enjoyed working with google docs and interacting with the people on my team.  It was a wonderful experience. 

My internship activities are beginning to pick up now that I am back on contract.  I did some things over the summer, such as participating in interviews, but much of the work I will be doing toward my internship will continue this fall.  I am training my staff on a couple of items my district has asked me to work on with the staff.  I look forward to completing my internship by Christmas.

My research project is still ongoing.  My plan is to continue to work on it this fall and have it completed by Christmas as well.  I still need a little guidance from my supervisor on mapping out all the data.  I took a course in Excel this summer so that I can set up the data as I get it ready.
