My fear is beginning to subside. I will admit that when I began my semester-long adventure with technology, I assumed I knew very little. It is surprising how much knowledge I really have from general interaction with the internet. The biggest trick to learning technology (that I've found this semester) is just forcing yourself to sit down and work through it. I used to be afraid that I'd mess up my computer if I did something wrong, and 9 times out of 10 there is a very simple fix to any little mistake.
I also want to highlight some of my favorite discoveries so far! I am really impressed with all of the features available through Google. I've already used Google Docs to simultaneously work on projects with fellow students in another class. I also was quite excited to see how easy it is to create and share slideshows and presentations. Technology seems like it really can be a resource and not just a pesky puzzle to work through.
I can't wait to start working with the interactive whiteboards. I know that such technology will be exciting for both me and my future students!
