I have found many parts of this class very interesting and I believe they will prove to be useful in my future teaching. As a pretty tech savvy person I found most of the concepts pretty easy to pick up and felt adequate as navigating myself through using the different softwares and programs. Children in todays world grow up using all sorts of technologies at such early ages, that I think they will thrive from using technology in the classroom and will find things incredibly easy to pick up too. I especially found the non linear power points to be very interesting as I was proven wrong about knowing most things about power point. This was a new concept to me and I found that making a non linear power point would be a great ting to make in my class as a teacher one day. It could be great teaching way and a great way to make a 'quiz' of sorts for students.
As a future special education teacher, I think some pieces of the technologies we learned about could be used to help students be able to reach their creative, unique, and individualistic side. Technology often motivates students.
However, the population I hope to work with is often lower functioning so I dont think some of the programs like Photoshop will be applicable to them.
