// Advantage of this course is that the outcomes achieved are relevant to my work at school and helps students to use technology in their course work. Distance learning is a powerful tool providing students with equitable access to quality education and instruction and helps in overcoming the potential limitations. More information can be gathered by these online courses which help to pave better future. Reading and writing skills gained form this course help students in writing thesis and grants. // // In this course I created a blog and a wiki to share my ideas about my research work with my peers. I could interact with students all over the world. In this course I learned about many digital tools which are presently helping me in my course work. The technology brings the world to the classroom and provides communication tools to get access to the world beyond current boundaries. Online educations helped me to get information from all over the world without restricting me to class books. Online learning is an important strategy for professional growth of students, teachers and administrators. // // In assignment 1, I had a hard time in completing the project successfully as I do not have enough knowledge about discussions. Later on I cop-up with the project with my hard work. I had a difficulty to get the other students involved in week4 assignment. It seemed to me because of difficulty to get quality responses from the other students. Maybe if I was more persistent online or had contact information for the other students in the class, I may have been better with the completion of project. //

 * // Hurdles //**


 * // Success in completing assignments //**

// Success of any work or assignment depends upon how much I learned about it. I had problem at the beginning of course but later on I hope that I am successful in carrying out rest of the course assignments. I worked hard to complete each section and requirement of the assignments and strived to meet the goals asked for. // // It is very interesting to me as I am learning new information about latest technology. I got full-fledged information for completion of assignments from the information provided in Blackboard and the websites provided. I learnt many things from this course like how to know a site whether it is personal website or public website, to create a blog, to create a wiki and how to make discussions on a particular topic and get information gathered. // // This course helped to learn a lot of information about advanced technology. I learned how technology plays an important role in education, how technology is important to pave a better future, how digital media is helpful for students and also how infrastructure plays an important role in developing a school. After completing the course I feel like I can handle any school and can do something for better improvement of the school and the education system in it. This course gave me a complete idea of course work in Pre-K schools, technology requirements, infrastructure available and what steps need to be taken to improve the school facilities. I got to know how to make a wiki, how to create a blog and get the information through discussing online. Now my attitude is to develop technology filled schools and explore new ways and to implement new techniques in technology usage in school in order to achieve great heights. //
