Background with Technology and Goals...

I have always liked working with and being on computers. I'm no computer wizard by any means but I have worked in the computer labs at BYU for barely over a year now and through working there and going through the training I have become more familiar with Microsoft programs and better at trouble-shooting computers. I've also had experience learning new technology tools for teaching inmy TMA 457 class (about integrating media and teaching in English and Theater classes). So I'm excited to learn more skills in this class to use while I teach! I think technology has opened so many doors in teaching and has given us new opportunities to open our students' minds. My goals for this semester include learning about and mastering programs I've never worked with that I could use as a teacher and improving my computer skills in general. I'm excited to learn about useful and fun programs that I've never been introduced to before.
