I’d like to think I’m pretty technologically advanced, but I guess there is always room for improvement. For example, I never knew what RSS stood for and I figured I’d just never use anything labeled RSS. I also never thought I’d be taking a class where I’d be blogging, for assignments! Blogging is something that seems so simple and modern; at first I had reservations about using it in the classroom. I didn’t really understand how it could be used as an educational tool, but it also is exciting to think I can use as a teaching tool. I like the idea of having one central place for the class to come to for posting information and to receive information. In this way, I can see myself using blogging as an educational tool.
I can definitely see differences in people who have grown up using technology and so-called “digital immigrants.” I can think back as far as preschool and remember using computers to learn whereas other people haven’t had this same experience. In the future it seems kids will be learning using computers and technology so I might as well try to effectively learn to use my tools.
