I currently use technology everyday in both my professional and private life. I cannot imagine completing my job as a teacher without at the very least a word processing program, the Internet, and an email account. I also have become accustomed to using my SMARTBoard and projector everyday. I also utilize Podcasts, images, videos, and other technologies in my classroom. For me, technology makes my research more convenient, my lessons more interesting and interactive, my handouts more user-friendly, and my communication more succinct and timely. Overall, technology is vital to my teaching practices.
I feel very comfortable using technology both in and out of the classroom. I am fairly proficient at most technological initiatives in education. However, I would like to learn more ways to incorporate technology into my classroom, and to spend time playing around with some of the newer things out there.
Overall, I do not have any concerns about the content or work for this class. I have already used some of these resources in both my professional and private life, and I am excited to learn some cool new things to add to my bag of tricks. My biggest concern about this course is the fight through morning traffic to get here from Essex, CT!
