Which concepts are most applicable and which are harder to incorporate?

Which concepts from the course seem most applicable?  

This course has given me a whole new world of apps and websites to use with my students.  I was not aware of all the different websites out there and how to use them appropriately in the classroom.  I like the video by Michele Eaton that broke down the websites into categories for assessment tools.  I have enjoyed using Symbaloo myself and also the padlet for discussion.  I have learned that it doesn't have to be so difficult to incorporate technology when there are so many tools out there to choose from. 

Which concepts will be harder to incorporate?

For me, I believe that authentic assessments may be harder to incorporate for several reasons.  I have very little time in the day to work on new ideas and to create projects and things for my students.  I also have very little technology in my actual classroom so for the students to be able to access technology they either have to have their own and work from home or I have to take the class to a lab.  I also feel that my students do not have a great understanding of technology and all its uses.  Many of my students do not have a home computer or access to a variety of technology.
