I think this class is very useful. But I also believe that certain topics do not need to be covered or the application of the topic needs to be changed. First thing I would drop is Tri-fold brouchure. Even though I enjoyed making it, I don't see a huge need for this skilled to be learned when there are many companies out there to do it for you, and at a professional quaility level. The topics I would give more time to and stress is Power point presentations, Spreadsheets (for use in making a gradebook not a interest log), databases, and webpage. All theses could be useful in the classroom. Though I like to blog I would have to say in this course they are more of a burden than a learning tool. Maybe a change on how it is used would help, but I really did not recieve much education for this part of the course.
The best thing about this course was Dr. Strange's use of video teaching. He would place a instructional video on his blog page from the last lesson he taught. This was extremly helpful, for any student that may have missed a class or who may not have understood the lesson when it was first taught. I was able to really understand many of the topics because of these videos and I think they are a great asset to the class.
