What? In reflecting on my most recent Techology in Eduation session, I am realizing more and more that I know very little about internet technology compared to how much technology is "out there." While I want to be tech savvy, for the sake of best using the resources that are potentially at my fingertips, I am finding that I have only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg. As an upcoming teacher, I want to use the best resources possible in order to help my class learn and be able to access information, as well.
So What? I am so thankful for my Technology in Education class. Even though I usually leave the class feeling a similar feeling of intimidation concering technology than when I came in the door, I am still gaining knowledge in this area of my world and I know that practice and patience will continue to boost my confidence in the realm of technology. As I continue to discover the many online resources that exist, I know that I will find several that will become more comfortable and easy for me to use frequently. At the moment, I am still trying to simply soak it all up and take what I can from the information that I have been given.
Now What? I'm glad that I'm becoming more comfortable with the SMART board, creating web pages, and creating a teacher blog (as well as maintaining this current blog: Technological Perspective). These accomplishments give me confidence to keep exploring resources as I step into my professional career. I hope to create my own teacher blog and use it consistently as a teacher for students and parents to access and reference on a weekly basis.

I feel pretty overwhelmed with all the new technology too! So glad I am not the only one It is defiantly an area of education that I am not very comfortable with, but I am also very glad we have this class to prepare us for teaching in a smart classroom.
