Technology

During the past week as I have been signing up for new email accounts and registering on Facebook and Blogger, I am beginning to realize that there is a whole new world just waiting for me to discover.  Technology has always been very intimidating to me because I am afraid of it.  I'm not really sure what exactly scares me, but it does.  My best guess is that my fears stem from the fact that there is so much technology out there that it seems overwhelming and I don't even know where to begin.  Taking this class has already helped me to overcome some of those fears as I have found myself exploring and discovering many new things that have the potential of bringing education to a whole new level if applied in the classroom.   

Beginning with the amazing things I have already learned are available through my new gmail account I can see how beneficial just that one source can be in helping the students (and teachers) step outside of their sheltered little comfort zones and let their creativity begin to unfold.  It is my goal to learn everything I can while taking this course, not only to benefit myself, but to help ignite a burning desire to discover new things and create a bright new future filled with fun and exciting ways to share what's happening in each of our personal lives that will be a benefit for generations to come.

 Although I am just beginning to scratch the surface, already I can see that when it comes to technology, the possibilities are endless!
