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.
I am also still trying to keep up with all the new things coming out in technology. I am with you on the whole online thing I dont know why be there hard for me.
