I appreciated getting to know Wiki's more today.  I wonder how much more people would do if they realized that it is easy, and such a powerful tool.    I am more excited about it now that I can see the potential!  Thank you Heidi!

I wish there could be more specified dicussion for curriculum, but I am gleaming quite a lot from even my daily reflections after class.  I am glad to have taken this class and excited about making my Movement webpage even better!

As I continue to create my new website I am more aware of what I don't know.  I want to do a good job of presenting the information in an accessible way, and I have to remember to process the information for others, because there are so much!  I can't believe how hard it is to create the main page.  I want everyone to at least be aware of how important movement is, in all of their lives!

Reading Curriculum 21 has been very good for me.  It is a reminder of how important it is to view technology as an important part of assessment.  So often we, teaching professionals, work very hard to incorporate technology into our lessons.  From flipping the classroom to interactive whiteboard presentations, we work hard to present the information in a technology rich fashions.  However, Jacobs (in Curriculum 21) argues that the most important component is the technology focus in assessment.  I am now challenged to embrace this philosophy and work hard to make this a part of my mentality.  Furthermore, I am trying to remind myself how important that we teaching professionals avoid  doing the same old teaching with new technologies, but that we embrace Web 2.0 both in our lessons and in our assessments.
