EDRL 6004 was a blast!

When I first heard about this course I wanted to know what was the connection between ICT and reading, however, from the onset of the course, my interest grew daily.

I found the blogging experience to be quite appealing because I love to write and I also enjoyed creating 'catchy' labels for the posts so that others would be encouraged to read them. I wish if more persons could have read and commented on all of them but, I appreciate all those who did. I've never used wikis or made ebooks so I'm looking forward to using them in my class and also sharing all that I have learnt on this course with my fellow teachers when school reopens.

The fact that I am now aware of some of the technological tools that can be used to enhance traditional pedagogy makes me feel empowered because I feel that I have grown as an educator. I know that there is much more to learn but, this is the start of a whole new way of making reading interesting, fun and meaningful to all learners. I also know that my presentations as a future reading specialist will be greatly enhanced through the use of some of the tools like concept mapping, ebooks and digital photo story. I extend special thanks to my very enthusiastic lecturer for making this course so magnificent.
