Background and Expectations

Even though I have been around computers for practically my whole life, I don't feel very computer-literate. I can do all of the basic things that I've needed to get through my classes, like Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and basic internet functions, but other than that I feel like I am a little clueless. I wasn't really asked to use too much technology in my education (at least up to this point), and my teachers didn't use it much either.

For my own personal use, I like to use my computer to listen to music, keep in touch with friends on facebook and also for email. Oh yeah, I also use it to catch up on some of my favorite television shows if I wasn't able to watch them when they aired. I don't tend to venture away from those purposes.

I'm really excited to expand my knowledge about different technologies. As a future teacher, it will be very important for me to able to communicate with my students through different types of media. Also, I hope this class will give me some ideas of ways that I can improve my teaching by taking advantage of all the creative ways technology can be used in a classroom.
