NT 101 Reflection

This course has been a great learning opportunity for me.  I will definitely implement the information I've learned immediately and would love to take a course that extends this learning (or may even…Continue

NT101 Reflection

In module 7 I chose to do a group of resources for teachers in my school to use. I found this module to be frustrating because of the the amount of dead, discontinued or moved links. I hit a lot of…Continue

This class has sometimes been frustrating to me because it has forced me to learn to do some new things and that is difficult for oldsters like myself. Often I will think that my poor old brain cannot possibly learn one more new gizmo, gadget or whatever. But I do and when I do it helps me remember how much I still love learning........even when I am pulling my hair out and pounding on the table.

The most meaningful aspect of this class for me has been the digging in and searching followed by posting my findings. I did NOT realize this class would be so hands-on! I really feel like I am prepared to share this awesome resource with the students and faculty of my school...which I have already gotten to do with the sophomores and a few faculty members! This last module was especially very enlightening. I have some great information to share with my administration, too, on new ways to "ramp up" our curriculum.

As I reflect back to the beginning of this online class, I can't specifically pinpoint one aspect that has been most meaningful. As I completed each module, I gained more and more confidence with using Nettrekker. I now have the skills to incorporate Nettrekker in my classroom as well as share my new found knowledge with co workers. I have to say the search features, refinement menus and my portfolio are my favorites. This was a great experience and I can't wait to continue with Nettrekker in the new school year.

I can't wait to get started making folders and using My Portfolio. My first mission is to develop a plan to show all the teachers at my school what I have learned here. We will soon be the 21st Century model of collaboration!

There is just so much to absorb in this last module. I have spent hours combing through the various websites that are linked to the pages. I am really thinking about making digital literacy my new obsession ( so to speak.)

I found that the 21st Century skills module was my favorite and the one that I hadn't spent much time researching before this class. I enjoyed this module and all the resources that I have found and will continue to find as I use it more. I love the email feature in my portfolio so I can easily share resources I find with my colleagues, parents, and even students. I have already found myself relying on netTrekker more than I did before for web resources, and I know it's because this class was broken down into manageable pieces for indepth coverage and study.

I have spent the last few years having my students use Nettrekker as their first search engine. I haven't utilized any of the resources available. After this eight week course, I am thinking through all of my lessons, and how they could definitely benefit by having some other things implemented into the units. I am so excited to begin having my students use effectively this resource that is provided by the district. I have already started sharing with other teachers the different items that I have found and am already using in my room.

The thing I will take away most from NetTrekker 101is saving searches, navigating folders, and putting templates right into the folders. It is so great to direct students to a folder where they can read the assignment, follow the directions and do a self directed activity. They can work at their own pace and because the site offers so many added features for differentiation, I can just let the students explore and learn as much as they can.

Being a part of the Nettrekker training was a great experience. For so long, I have thought it was just the default start-up page for the district, some service that we subscribed to that was geared to younger grades and not high school. Looking at the search refinement features and the twenty-first century channel, see now the various uses. I can see a clear use for these tools.

Each lesson really offered something worth sharing with teachers that could facilitate learning in their classrooms. I've seen several teachers have difficulty understanding the concept of 21st Century Skills and how they relate to their classrooms and their students. The CyberSmart resources and the 21st Century Channel provide precise methods teachers can use to promote the learning of these important skills.
Prior to becoming involved with this course, I had no idea that Nettrekker provide so many layers of learning.
My experiences in this course will help me provide meaningful training sessions in the effective use of netTrekker.
