**//In this course, I learned several new services (That's what I call them) that are available to me as an instructor. The idea of using some sort of learning space is a valuable and convenient one. Using my actual class materials has given me the opportunity to actually see the benefits of this medium. We can all take solace in the fact that technology will constantly change and that newer and better ideas will ultimately lead us to different and interesting ways of presenting materials that we teach.//**

**//When an instructor is resistant to the newer, and sometimes better, opportunities that he or she might be able to incorporate in their lessons, they in turn limit the ability of the students who might have been able to catch on faster. Thus, the students suffer as they could have processed more during the same length of class time spent. Why then would any of us who aspire to teach to the best of our ability, not at the very least take the time to investigate, study, test, experiment, or just plain try any of the latest and greatest teaching tools? We should and we should also evaluate whether or not these tools are right for our classes.//**

**//The ultimate goal is always going to be the students and what we have been able to implant in their tiny little brains. With that in mind, we want as instructors to make the best use of the time we have with those brains. We need to recognize that they are the future and that it all come back to us when we are once again having to wear diapers and have forgotten how to walk. These folks are the ones who will be in charge and taking care of us.//**

**//God, I hope I did okay!//**
