Course Expectations

      To be completely honest with you, I am not sure what I fully expected going into this class. I knew we would be learning about different uses of technology in the classroom, but I was not exactly sure what those would be or how they would be useful. In three short weeks I have already learned more about classroom technology than I thought possible.
     My expectations continuing in the class would be to expand my knowledge in technology in the classroom. I never really thought that technology in an elementary school classroom would be necessary but now I realize that it is important and that I need to be more open to technology in the classroom. I need to know these things because more than likely the children that I will be working with will be very good at using technology, seeing as this is the new world that they are growing up in. Another expectation of mine for this class is to learn more of the technological vocabulary. Not only do I need to know how to use these things, but it is important to know what you are taking about when referencing technology. This will be important if a future employer ask me to use a "wiki" because I will know exactly what they are referencing.
      Overall, this class has already helped me along in just three weeks so I am excited to see what the rest of the semester unfolds. Even though technology still makes me nervous I am excited to learn and grow and see what this class can teach me.
