The Clicker is a handy way of administrating tests and pop quizes - making it easy to give the test, and receive the scores, rather than having to do the tedious task of grading individual papers. This would even save paper, helping the environment. Kidspiration and Inspiration are also unique tools to use in the classroom, letting the students use their sense of creativity. I remember that my son (when he was in second grade or so) loved using Kidspiration, and had much fun with it.
This course has definitely helped me with my understanding of technology. Almost from the beginning, it made me realize that the course of the future could not happen without technology. It is in nearly all aspects of our lives, and I am thankful that I took this course, to prepare me for the approaching future. By learning a little here, I can be ready to teach much to my future students. Wiki's, blogs, VoiceThreads, Podcasts, Prezi's - everything is dedicated to knowledge and data. A new field is rising in the world, ripe for teaching to the next generation, and all generations who will succede them.
