I hope to learn new ways to be more effective with different technologies. Right now I feel that I am using technology all of the time (to communicate with others, to create and search for lesson plans, teaching during class, to research, etc). I enjoy it greatly and find that it makes most tasks more professional, efficient, and fun. It would be nice to learn about technologies that I am not familiar with to enhance what I am doing both at school and at home. I thought I knew a great deal about technology and although this might be true, during the first day of class I already heard a lot of new terms that I am not familiar with (wikis, delicious, podcasting, dreamweaver, etc) and I am excited to learn how to use them. Since technology is constantly changing I think it is great to be on the forefront of what is new and I think that is what TEAM will do for me. It will give me knowledge and skills for more technology tools to use regularly. I love teaching and I can’t wait to use my new learned skills to excite my students and get them actively involved in lessons and projects for my curriculum.
