Through the MAET program, I have learned about other ways to weave technology into my teaching that go far beyond digitizing paper assignments. I now have a vast collect of knowledge about different applications that exist, their affordances and constraints, and ways they can be used to enhance my teaching but not just replace a paper assignment. For example, my students recently studied potential and kinetic energy and how energy transfers from one form to another. To demonstrate their understanding of these concepts, they built a rollercoaster out of pipe insulation and video recorded their rollercoaster in action. Then using the abilities of the video software, they annotated the video and added audio to explain their understanding about how the rollercoaster worked in terms of potential and kinetic energy transformation. They were able to share their
