Final Reflection

I actually have learned a lot in this class. When I first signed up for it, I thought "Oh great, now I have to learn about stupid technology." I know, kind of a bad attitude to have. However, I was surprised to find that although I hate the idea of learning new things that involve technology, it actually wasn't that bad. It was nice to also have a very encouraging teacher who helped me to realize that even tech guys don't know everything about technology. It's okay to not know everything about technology. It isn't about what you know, it's about the process of knowing.
Now that I feel more confident in knowing the process of learning, I think I would be able to better use technology in my teaching. Even the little things we learned like how to make a power point have helped me. I remember when I was younger, my teacher wanted us all to make a power point presentation. We were never clearly instructed on how to do it, and it was also back in the day when the only kids who had powerpoint available to them were the rich kids that could afford it. It's so nice now to have those little things accesible to use. It's also nice to have learned how to use imovie. Honestly, I never thought I would be able to make a video on my own. But now I have confidence because it's about the process of learning technology. I feel like I am better equiped with the knowledge to not only use technology in my teaching, but help younger children learn the process. This was a great class overall. It was very helpful:)
