18. Reflections Completing the Instructional Technology Program at University of West Georgia has been a wonderful experience. I have learned so much that I been able to incorporate into my teaching and to share with other teachers. Coming into the program with very little knowledge of technology made me a little anxious, but I have been able to accomplish much; and I have become more confident when using technology. I have seen the importance of collaboration and teamwork while completing the various assignments. Classmates responding and suggesting on my posts have helped me throughout the program. I am very proud of the work I have completed and count it a privilege to have worked with my classmates and professors.
