Reflection #2

In this class I want to learn how to be more familiar with programs on computers so that I can implement them into my future classroom. Technology is something that has been around a long time but increases so fast that it is hard to keep up. For instance, some of the games my little nephews just got for Christmas I had no idea what were or how to use them. I guess I'm still stuck in Nintendo and Nintendo 64 days. Even looking at the Wii and Xbox 360 I am just amazed at how fast all of this stuff is coming out! I can't even imagine what my grandmother is thinking! 


 I have never been good at online classes partly because I am not confident in that I am doing everything right. I like having the teacher there so that I can make sure I know for sure what is going on. I think that if I had more experience through out my school years that this might would have come easier to me. Technology is only going to keep increasing and my goal is to be able to incorporate it into my lessons and not only teach using it but also teach my students how to use it. Starting at a young age I think that it is really important that we start using more technology in the classrooms to help students prepare for their futures. 


The Game Plan has four steps that would help guide anyone in any situation at which they were trying to improve and reach certain goals. Being a teacher I think that it will definitely help me in trying to create lessons and monitor my students progress.

Reflection #1

Hi! My name is Julia Hafner and I am from Voss, Texas which is outside of Coleman. I went to school at Panther Creek from K-12. It is a little six man school out in the middle of nowhere and I'm not exaggerating. There were 18 kids in my graduating class and that was a big class! 


I graduated in 2009 and went to Tarleton State for a year and lived with my sister then moved to San Angelo. The reason for moving here and attending ASU is because my sister who had formerly lived here had decided to move back so I came with her. I am very happy here and love this school. 


Last semester I decided on my major and it is Elementary Education. I want to be a teacher because I love little kids and want to be a positive influence in their lives. I think that learning can be extremely fun depending on how it is taught and that is probably one of my main goals. 


I have never been a very technological person and in this century it is kind of getting to where you have to know about technology and how to use it. Since I am going to be a teacher I think it is going to help me in most of my classroom situations and help me to help them!
