Background in Technology

I have been fortunate enough to have received a decent background in technology, however I do think that I need to have a stronger one as technology is ever evolving. I have learned my technology background mostly from school and my parents. Throughout school I have learned and used Microsoft Office. My parents have taught me to use email, search engines, and higher tech type of phones. I only started to use Facebook and Skype when I went to college. I have never cared to use Twitter, MySpace, or blogging since I am a person who feels like I do not need to read about other people’s lives or let everyone know what is going on with my life. Hopefully throughout this class the usage of Twitter and blogging will help me discover a better understanding for what they are about and how they will assist me with networking and how best to incorporate them when I teach a class. I am interested in learning more about all types of technologies we are going to discuss in this class since it will help me in the future as I teach others. I am also curious to learn new things about technology and how technology is evolving. Overall my expectation for this class is to learn more about technology and how I can use it in my future classroom so my students have the ability to learn as much as they can.
