Can you believe it?  Didn’t this go super fast?
For your final connection to the course, I want to leave you with questions, not answers.  I want you to think through all that you have read and experienced this semester.  Generate a list of at least three questions that you will continue to hold with you as you move forward in your path to teaching.  Share why these questions are important to you.

It went super fast. I'm surprised that I am done at MCTC. I enjoyed getting to know my fellow classmates but I wonder if we used our time productively this semester. I think we spent a lot of time getting to know each other but I also feel like we wasted a lot of time. My first question is how could we have used our time more productively?

It was nice having a small class, I was disappointed that so many people dropped out, it was noticeable because we had such a small class size. I'm concerned about the people that did. I hope everyone is okay. This is a concern I typically wouldn't have in a larger class. I feel like we were very invested in each other's education... is that good or is that bad?

I think we had important conversations, but I think we got side tracked a lot. We cared more about the real-life situations that were going on. I'm not a fan of the blended format and the impacts of technology seemed to get in the way of learning. I feel like a lot of people were frustrated at the amount of technology that was involved in the class. My question is: is technology necessary for educator's? I believe it is, I like the idea of a technology class for future educator's because it will be prevalent in their future experience
