Beginning Blog
Many of my experiences with technology have been forced experiences. Through out my schooling the use of technology has increased drastically so, even if I was uncomfortable with the new way of doing things, I still had to participate. I can do the basics such as typing up papers on word and using my phone to call,text,and take photos, but I have never felt the need to become involved in social media or discover new technology.
I would love to learn how I can be more involved with technology and use it in a way that I understand. I am tired of remaining clueless about how to use and operate basic technology that every one in my generation uses on a daily basis. Personally, I am not a huge fan of social media, but I hope that this class can teach me more about modern technology so that maybe I can feel more comfortable with it in the future.
I have learned that I work better when I am alone where I have much time to think about things and figure out the tasks and problems on my own. I tend to be a bit bossy when I work in groups because I like to have things done a certain way, this is also because I have a lot of cool ideas but I am afraid that no one will like them so when I work alone I can use any idea that I want. The subjects that I excel in are literature, mythology, and history because the do not require ample memorization of facts, instead they leave room for discussion and interpretation.

I really appreciate your honesty, Maddie. Although you'll have required technology projects throughout the semester, I hope that you find them relevant to your academic needs and interests. If we're ever moving too fast and you feel overwhelmed, please let me know.
ReplyDeleteHello Maddie. You are not alone. I am not a very advanced technology user either. I only have a very basic understanding of programs that I have been required to use in the past (ex. Word, Power Point, etc.).
ReplyDeleteI feel the same about technology. I have never really felt like I was missing something in my life by not knowing how to do anything more than word or PowerPoint on the computer. Hopefully this class will teach us things that we can use other than word and PowerPoint because I also feel clueless and lost.
ReplyDeleteHi team, I'm in the same boat, I think we go in to learn a lot in this class.
