#0- So this is a blog

Some of my prior use with technology includes a struggling 10 year old with a key board cover. Attempting to memorize what letters belong to what keys. I never really used technology to it's full potential growing up, however, I have used it more in the past five years. During high school I did use an iPad to hold some of my textbooks and write papers for my English class.


I hope to learn more about what technology K-12 classrooms are using currently to educate kids in this class. As a camp counselor I did get a small taste of how much kids are use to phones and computers and how they are such a big part of their personal lives, but I have not been exposed to kids and technology in a classroom setting. I am exited about meeting my classmates and instructor because I just want to absorb all the knowledge she throws our way.


I learned that I am a visual learner today from the questionnaire that I filled out. Which was no surprise, because I have always known that I am in love with charts, colors and the clarity that comes with them. I also discovered that I am an active learner, and that I would prefer to be with a group of kids and problem solve. I love asking for other peoples ideas and getting a fresh take on things. Another aspect I learned about my learning style is that I like applying what I learn in the classroom to the real world. I love knowing how what I am doing in the present will matter in the future.

  1. I like your comment "I am exited about meeting my classmates." You will get to not only make friends, but will learn from each other. If you read everyone's post this week, you would see each person has a different strength. This wonderful phenomena is in every group. Each person brings knowledge and personality and charm. Enjoy your classmates as I will enjoy you all. And we will learn from each other.
