I have always been surrounded by technology, but the depth of my knowledge is a different story. I am acquainted with different kinds of technologies, know the basics of some technologies, and can confidently say that I'm know a great deal about only a few technologies. I have extensive experience with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Power Point, OneNote, Facebook, digital cameras, texting, and creating wikis. I have recently delved into the video chat world and am beginning to use Skype frequently. Through other experiences of being in school and working in schools, I have observed the use of the internet, Microsoft Excel, overheads/projectors, SmartBoards, Elmos, wikis, blogs, YouTube, and e-books for academic advantages. In the past three semesters of my college career, I have seen my professors demonstrate an increase in interest of using technology in their classrooms and incorporating wikis, blogs, and Skype into their curriculum. I have had the opportunity to create and participate in a blog as well as create a wiki and contribute to wiki on another occasion.
I feel like the classes we had with Dr. Johnson were very good to have before this class. If it weren't for him I would have like no expirence with technology!
ReplyDeleteYes! I completely agree. Actually I have actually started using Skype on almost a daily basis. Mike is spending the summer in Florida and Chicago so we have been chatting a lot on Skype. I also used my wiki-making skills that we had with Dr. Johnson in TE 301. It helped a lot!
