I have been reflecting about technology, and even though I don't claim to be a techno-wizard, technology really has become an important part of that way I do business in the last 5 or so years. I use technology in several forms daily in my teaching. I do research on the internet, communicate through e-mail, use the computer with my students for things such as AR, Funbrain, Coolmath, etc. I use an avatar instead of an overhead projector. I project videos from the computer (United Streaming) onto a screen. There's always room for growth, but I never pictured how far technology would take me several years ago.
At home, I e-mail, facebook, download pictures and send them to relatives, look up everything on the internet (recipes, who was that actress that starred in that one movie, does my dog have a cyst, you name it). I even let my inner rock star come through while playing Guitar Hero. Again, always so much more to learn, and this class is inspiring to keep learning!
