Course Reflection:

The final journal entry that I wrote at the end of the course stands today. Mimi was a fabulous teacher and a model of an exemplary online educator. Her feedback was timely, thoughtful and encouraging without being patronizing. I'd take any course she offered and I'd take this one again from her! This course really changed my perspective on technology in education and transforming the classroom.
