I enjoyed listening to the presentations. I learned a lot from all of the presentations that have presented so far. I never knew what an AUP was and that every year my mom and I were signing an AUP. I definitely think AUPs are very helpful and a great idea for schools to use. I also found the way gender and technology are related. I never would have guessed that women use the computer more for word processors and building relationships. Men use the computers for analysis and to figure out how it works. The presentation on e-portfolio brought up some really great ways to continue using them after we are hired as a teacher. I never would have thought for students younger than college age to use e-portfolios. I really think these presentations helped me a lot because it got me excited about technology even more. The presentations also taught me some great ways to incorporate technology into my classroom. They also got my brain flowing with some great ideas for lessons I could use in my classroom! Overall, the presentations were very good and very informative!
