Oh Technology...

So as I begin my technological journey everything thing in the world wide web seems to be against me. I am an avid facebook user and stalker but other than that my background includes surfing the web and checking my mail. Of course, when I aim to become more technology savvy the internet is playing games with my computer and is in major disarray. I have finally secured internet for the time being so I am rapidly typing this post. This isn't the first time I have developed a love hate relationship with my computer and whatever seems to be the source of my tech problem, but I am hoping this class will help me become more patient with all of this craziness.

Mostly, I am incredibly interested to find out what ways technology can be used in the classroom. At this point in time, technology seems to be making everyone's lives easier and maybe it can do the same for students. In all of our teaching classes the one concept that seems to be reiterated over an over is the idea that all students learn differently. I hope by the end of this class I will look at this broad field as a teaching and learning tool. Currently I am already learning a great deal and will continue to do so as technology changes and evolves. So far I am thinking that this will be an overall great teaching aid.

So for now I will encase myself with a professional twitter, a blog, and whatever this class will bring. My optimism will hopefully create a better relationship with my computer and everything it entails. I am excited to see what great concepts this class will bring to my teaching and learning and hopefully my internet will hang in there!
