The document is a survey response from a teacher enrolling in a course on using new media and technology in teaching and learning. In three sentences: The teacher wanted to enroll to stay up-to-date on new technology as it provides opportunities to engage students in learning, and to improve their own skills as technology advances rapidly. Some challenges they mentioned were getting students engaged with each other and coursework, and having a better understanding of what tools are available and how to use them effectively in teaching. The teacher hoped the course would help them expand their confident use of new technologies that could be easily applied in the classroom.
