Personal
Technology Reflection
In
today’s society, technology is ever growing and becoming more relevant and
important in the modern world. Almost every career path requires a basic
understanding of how and when to use appropriate means of technology. It was
not until I entered college that I realized how big of a role technology plays
in the field of education. Now more than ever teachers are encouraged to
incorporate technology in the classroom to ensure students have various avenues
toward learning. As a future educator, I feel that I have a basic understanding
of technology so that I am able to accomplish certain tasks. However, I feel
that I could have a better grasp in this area so I can help all of my students
excel in the classroom with the help of technology.
On the
technology skills assessment, my results showed that I am overall competent
enough to take part in online learning. However, I showed a somewhat weak score
on the technology at home section. This is not surprising as my personal
computer is several years old and I honestly do not put much effort into
keeping it updated and protected. This is probably because I am not very
educated on how to do so. In the rest of the sections, I
scored mainly proficient in my technology skills. This helped demonstrate that
I do have the means and capabilities of completing work technologically.
I do
have the confidence that I am able to use basic technology and complete work in
this manner. However, besides this, I do not have much confidence in this area.
I know that there exists a great amount of technological resources that will
enhance my work as both a student and future teacher. I am excited to learn
about such resources and glad I get the opportunity to do so in this course!
