Coming into this class, I was a bit scared. I have always considered myself to have a very low intelligence about technology. I tend to not give myself enough credit, but I know I'm not as tech savvy as most. I am especially illiterate as far as working with Mac computers and other Apple products. Truthfully, I was dreading this class and wanted no part of it.
However, after being in here for about three weeks, I feel a lot more comfortable with computers. Mr. Beard runs the class at a slow and steady pace that doesn't completely bore me, but helps me keep up. I feel like I am learning a lot, and, more importantly, I am learning enough to be able to use some of this technology to be a better teacher and further my students' educational opportunities.
By the end of this class I hope to be able to consider myself "tech-savvy". I am not sure right now what that means, but I hope to find out. I want to feel comfortable at a computer, and I want to feel like I am able to fix small problems if and when they arise. This class no longer scares me, because I know that even if I am not totally comfortable with technology right now, I will get there, and I will know all that I need to know.
