TCPCG DAY 1!

I am very excited to be starting this program today. I was able to look forward to class, and I think the Technology course is a good course to begin the week with, because it is allowing me to become familiar with using the Mac and benefiting from the knowledge of other classmates in terms of knowledge of Mac use. I have always been a PC user and although I have always wanted a Mac, I never had one around me so I am not sure how they work or what techniques and software they are equipped with.

The day has been going by at a nice pace, and I feel as if I have learned so many new things already. I have never used a google doc before, and I like to see the features and the collaboration that is able to occur from using an online resource. This is also the first time I have ever used or created a blog, so I am looking forward to see what this and the Wiki can do. I like that the course is opening up avenues that we could refer to when teaching within the classroom, and if it is in a district where technology is available, could be utilized within the classroom to enhance learning or collaboration in team projects, etc.

I feel anxious but at the same time I am looking forward to all that I will learn with regard to technology over the next few weeks. I think this course will allow me to be creative and explore different means of using technology for enhancement within the education system.
