**Final Reflection:**

Looking back, I can see that I was somewhat critical of technology at the beginning of the course...

although I definitely still have apprehensions about Media Literacy and the use of certain technologies... I think my final reflection found in the above multimedia presentation speaks for itself:


 * Its not that these kinds of technologies don’t have a place in classrooms its that we need to bring these technologies in, embrace them as a way to engage our so-called 21st century learners. These technologies aren’t going to impede our students… if anything, they’re going to enhance their learning! Students need to be engaged, to learn in their OWN mode, which IS technology! **
