Entry 1

Technology has really never been my thing. I use it in probably the most simplistic ways possible. I can access my emails, social media, and other pertinent websites but I have never really been one to take a lot of time to learn more about technology. I know that technology is a valuable tool but I honestly haven't explored it as much as I probably should have. I use my personal computer for most things and I use my phone for contacting people and other recreational use. I'm excited to learn a lot more during this class and to become better with my technology use.

I hope that in this class I will be able to become more familiar with the various uses of technology. I am already so excited to learn more about blogging and the various benefits that it has in publishing my ideas as well as being able to interact with others. I want to learn how I can use technology better in the classroom as well or even just in teaching in general. Although I have a basic understanding of several different technological tools, I want to learn how to use those same tools in a much more dynamic way for teaching. I also want to develop my skill set so that I will be able to be very flexible in my teaching, allowing me to use technology when it is helpful and not having to fumble around trying to figure it out. I'm super excited to learn more!
