I think I have about as much experience with technology as any average college freshman. Throughout high school I became familiar with Microsoft word, excel, and powerpoint. In class we also used movie maker and wikis a ton. In addition, we used smart boards and did a little with podcasts (but they weren't very good.) Since arriving at FSU I've become vary familiar with blackboard and been involved in many discussion boards. 

In this class I hope to learn appropriate ways to integrate technology into a classroom setting. I also hope to gain confidence in classroom technology so that I feel more comfortable using it in my classroom correctly and effectively. I hope I can use this technology to keep student's interest and protect my lessons from becoming mundane or out of date. 

The learning styles questionnaire taught me that I am reflective, intuitive, verbal and sequential. It taught me to write summaries and make outlines when I study so I can rethink and absorb what I've just learned and to double check that I've read everything thoroughly on tests. I learn best when things are taught in a step by step manner and I am given time to think through things.
