Blog 0, My Technology Past

              I have used a lot of technology in the past, but would not quite call myself "tech-savvy". I am familiar with most programs and how they are used, such as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. In elementary school, I remember being taught all these programs and thinking clip art was the coolest thing ever. Most of my technology knowledge stems from back then, actually. I used a lot of technology and online programs in high school while I was apart of the yearbook staff. We created the yearbook online, which forced me to become familiar with most programs and techniques. 

             

             In this class, I hope to learn how to not only master these technological concepts, but to be able to transfer what I have learned to my future classroom. Hopefully this helps me have the skills needed to preform was an elementary school teacher in the most efficient fashion. I hope this class becomes a fun way to get familiar with the technology I will need to further my teaching career. 

              My learning style was not a surprise to me. I have always been a visual learner and enjoyed help from others in order to brainstorm ideas. I was also aware that I am not usually able to grasp information given to me by book or other text. I remember what I see, and that usually helps me with most aspects of my life. I did, however, learn today that I am not as creative or imaginative as I had thought. The results showed how I am really just a reasonable and sensible person who does not do well with analyzing theories and ideas.
