I am in my second term of the Info Tech program at WOU and enjoying myself immensely. I find the more I explore technology the more I discover myself. While I am not afraid of technology I have never really embraced it. I do own a cell phone and have long since eliminated my land line. However, I do not have a smart phone or know how to use the technology that goes along with it. My computer is a lap top because I enjoy the freedom of being able to use my computer where I want to go rather than where the computer needs to sit.
Over the past few years I have wanted to implement more technology in my teaching and in my advising. I teach in smart classrooms and use the doc cam and that is about it. I really think if the university I work at is going to invest in creating smart classrooms, I should learn how to teach with the tools available. Since my career is educating people, I think that technology will help me do this better and help me reach more people.
This is my first introduction to blogging. I have glanced at other people's blogs but have never really looked at, followed, or written comments on one before. I hope to be able to find a use for my blog to reach more students on my campus.
Professionals in the field of blogging say that reading blogs is the best ways to writing better blogs. So going beyond the glancing at other blogs may be one ticket to a better blog. Good luck and welcome back.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first term in a masters program and at WOU and so far I have enjoyed reading your blog post, I too feel the same way, I have never really embraced technology until recently. I sometimes feel that I am VERY behind than most of the people that are in this masters program but I realize that we can all learn something from one another and I am very excited to learn more about blogging and how we can use technology to better the classroom.
