EDM 349 Course Artifacts

During my Fall 2017 semester at West Chester University I was privileged to take a course in which I could explore the world of technology and learn many tech tools that I have never learned before. This course was set up to show technology tools that benefit the world of teaching and learning. The course title is EDM 349, which is why this page is titled EDM 349 course artifacts, but this course is more than just a technology course. This course has been a critical component towards earning my degree as an Education major. Because during this course we have created a portfolio that demonstrates all the forms of technology that we have not only learned how to use ourselves but have learned how to use them within our classroom.
