Personal History with Technology: This video is shocking and caught me by surprise. I grew up in a classroom without computer technology. The highest level of technology that I ever encountered in Elementary and Middle School was a typing class on an old Word program. In High School I used computers for typing papers and for my keyboarding class but never did research or used the internet. I absolutely love all of the new technology that we have available to work with as teachers and I wish that I could have had these resources when I was a young student. When I decided to go to college I purchased a new Mac computer and Ipod. I continue to learn new things about my Mac computer on a daily basis. Without my computer I would not have been a successful student. The programs on my Mac computer keep me connected with the Universities Blackboard and other Social Networking Websites. There is so much power in communication and sharing information. I believe that teachers who know how to stay in communication with their students via computer technology are more successful in connecting and impacting their students educational experience.
