As stated previously in my introduction post, I am pretty familiar with many common forms of technology. I've used Microsoft Office for school as long as I can remember, and I began surfing the Internet at age 8. However, I would be lying if I called myself an expert.
While blogging and social networking sites are comfortable for me, I really want to expand my horizons and learn about programs specifically related to education, and more specifically, English education. Also, I would like to explore some of the more "normal" technologies like social networking sites for their potential to be used in the classroom. I have many ideas already floating around in my head that could use some fleshing out, and I am positive this course will help with that!
I am a little concerned about how much technology will be available to me during my internship this fall. The English Department itself has little technology, so I will have to be creative with my plans, and look into utilizing resources from other parts of the school or create avenues for technology use that my students can interact with at home. Again, I hope this class will provide me with some pointers in this area.
