I have learned so much through taking my CEP 810 class. I have learned how to safely use technology in my teaching and in general. There are so many technologies on the Internet that I can and will use in my teaching. I think classrooms can benefit greatly from using Google Docs. Students are able to work on group projects very easily and this site will allow them all to contribute. I also think teachers can use it to share lessons and help each other make improvements to those plans and other things. This is something I will continue to use after the course is through. I also am very excited to explore the Creative Commons site more. I think this is a great place to find and share creative works to use in the classroom.
I feel like I definitely reached my goal of learning new technologies to incorporate into my teaching. I want to continue to explore these technologies and share what I have learned with others. Since technology is always changing, I want to be able to take what I learn in this course, use it now, and be able to adjust it as new technologies develop. I have enjoyed exploring all the new technologies in this course and hope to one day soon be able to use them in a classroom of my own!

Creative Commons
I never realized how careful you had to be with copyrights. I always knew they were important, but I did not realize just how careful you had to be with them.
After learning about Creative Commons I will definitely be more cautious about what I use in the classroom. This is a great site to legally use pictures, videos, and much more for free. It is also a place you can share your work and chose who you allow to use it and for what purpose. When I have a classroom of my own, I will use this site all the time to find things I could use to help with my teaching and also share things I have created with others.
Here is a photo that I found to help show what a terrestrial ecosystem looks like:
