Who I am?
What Type of Technology?
My first major interaction with technology started in my 3rd grade computer class. We learned how to use Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, and many other different types of platforms to display information. In high school, I worked for a Social Media Marketing company because I originally wanted to major in communications and advertising. Every day at my job I was learning how to create ads for companies on platforms like Facebook and Snapchat. Also in high school, I used Google Docs twenty- four seven because many of my teachers would use Turnitin, which is a website where the teachers can check for plagiarism.
What do I hope for?
In this class I hope to learn different learning styles that can benefit my future being in a classroom. I hope to learn about new platforms and many different perspectives on what is good and bad to use in a classroom. I also am excited to have hands on learning with the many new types of technology.
Hey! I think it is so cool that you were taught how to use various parts of the Microsoft Office resources so early on. I remember being taught how to type, but I don't believe I was ever offered a class like that until college.
ReplyDeleteI went to a private elementary school and they really focused on music, foreign languages, and technology; so like every other day we would be in a computer lab typing away and going through quizzes of Microsoft Office. Looking back it makes me realize how kids learn at such a young age everything about technology.
DeleteWell I guess I should start off by saying welcome to FSU! I've actually been debating taking classes at TCC over the summer. My first interaction with technology was also in elementary school when we had to learn how to type without looking and using all fingers. I can't believe you worked for a social media company in high school! That's amazing! Another thing we have in common is how we learned how to be leaders and deal with conflict. During my senior year, I was promoted at my job and had to learn how to deal and address problems while maintaining a sense of professionalism. I think these are skills we can both carry into our classroom careers.
