Blog #4: Connecting to Me

So far a lot of the information that we have covered has been a very good refresher for me. I started college as a telecommunications major, so a lot of the information that we are viewing is not foreign knowledge to me. It is really nice to see how much some of the technologies have changed, even over the past six years. A lot of the stuff that we are working with now is much more user friendly than the programs that I worked on in the past.

The information and programs that were are covering are very helpful for my educational future. As a technology education instructor, there are many classes taught in the high school that are toned down versions of this class. A lot of the content that we are covering is giving me really cool ideas that I could research and possibly implement into a new course at our school. Our district has had the same traditional programs for years and I believe a Web 2.0 based offering would spark the student imagination and provide them with a sense of what they will be facing in the very near future.

  1. Nick, I am glad that it was all a refresher for someone. It was all new to me. I wish I would have know who to call when I ran into trouble a lot earlier!
