Coming into technology in education, I wasn't sure what to expect but I was definitely looking forward to what if offered. As a potential teacher who will be molding the minds of our future, I feel it's very important for me to understand technology as our youth today is already far more advanced than when we were kids.
I'm not a big social media guy; I don't post to Facebook, I add photos here and there on Instagram but I've never had a Twitter until taking this class. My immediate thoughts were great....another form of social media to distract me on my phone! However, after downloading Twitter and using it over the course of our class, I've come to learn that it's an extremely beneficial tool that I wish I jumped into sooner. The amount of information provided is amazing and I can proudly say I use it as an informative source for when I'm searching for certain criteria.
Throughout the course of the class and through Kim's help, I'm absolutely positively far more advanced with the Google tools than I ever was before. And to be honest......if it wasn't for taking this class, I don't think, but I KNOW that I would be a lost cause once told to use a certain program, software, app, etc. This class has allowed me to now have the knowledge and tools to use technology outside of the classroom with my job and is a spectacular feeling knowing I can use what I've learned with my kids.
