Journal Week 1.

Technology for me has and is a little daunting; due to the fact I have never been drawn to the world of computers and software. Nor do I rarely get excited about new technology that is released. I must admit I am in love with my iPhone and could not and will not live without it. However, I have now become accustomed to the fact that technology is and will be a part of my world whether I like it or not. So I better get on the learning technology bus if I want to give my students the best possible education, and give them the opportunity to be using the latest programs and software which will connect them with classrooms around the globe.

Okay let’s be honest, we as a society have always had the misconception that technology and computers etc are for NERDS. Well that was the stereotype when I was growing up. However, my laptop is the most used item in my household for reasons being I use it for facebook, online banking, hotmail, university, Google and youtube. Which I must confess, I am beginning to get slightly addicted to. There is so much you can do on the internet. Anything I want to know or research about I can. How amazing is that? There is so much to learn in the gargantuan world called the internet.

So I say, Learning Technology bring it on. I’m ready to absorb and learn as much as possible in order to transform my classroom into an interactive learning environment.

Apologies if this blog has displeased any readers.
