My experience with technology was very limited before this class. Of course, like most people, I have a smart phone and I'd like to think I am pretty decent at operating it. When it comes to Google though or anything else regarding computers I am virtually useless. I can basically search on the internet and use Microsoft Word but thats about my limit. I also just recently got a Tablet from Verizon and I'm surprisingly even worse at operating that! I'm getting better but very slowly.
It is important to improve my technology use ability because that is the direction that education is heading so if I plan to work in schools, it is absolutely imperative that I get better at it. In my future, I plan to become a guidance counselor, preferably at the high school level. I could possibly use technology as a means to help a student calm down by maybe doing stress relief exercises on an iPad or a computer. Another way I could use technology is that I may be able to use one of those devices to possibly help out students that have troubles focusing or need alternative instruction. Teaching with technology opens many new doors, so I am definitely interested and motivated to learn how to use it better!
