Reflection: Now that TCL has come to a close this year, I am looking forward to attending next year and applying some of the awesome tools I've learned about in sessions this year. I have continued to use technology in my classroom, but have honestly not tried many new things yet. I would love to try Glogster yet this year to create a page where students could go to access Internet reading and math activities.
