I think what surprised me this semester was how many educators are involved in getting a lot of aspects of technology incorporated into schools. There are a LOT of educators online, especially twitter and other social networking sites for educators, that are passionate about using technology in their classrooms and work to incorporate it all of the time.
When I saw Cyndi's list for how many educators from all over the world are on twitter, and tweet to each other to try to help with learning and technology, I was really surprised. I was also surprised when I saw the other social networking site that educators can join and just answer each others questions about lesson plans and being a new teacher. I had no idea that I had these type of resources available to me, and I think they will be really helpful as a new teacher.
Another "Wow" moment for me was when I learned about Delicious. I think Delicious will be helpful for me for a long time. You can easily collect hundreds of websites and organize them to find them when you need them.
Overall, I found a lot of great resources I didn't even know existed this semester.
