As I look forward at the plans for this course, I feel apprehension and nervousness. I am worried that I will be able to handle the tools needed to accomplish each assignment and remember to complete each one. Also, the calendar looks fairly demanding; therefore, I am worried that I will be able to complete each assignment in the required time to the best of my ability. Because this course is so important to my future classrooms, I want to be able to take as much away with me as possible.
The course does seem exciting because I understand the importance of technology in today's classrooms. I hope to implement many of the tools we use throughout the semester such as blogs and wikis in my teaching. Hence, I will need to learn how to use each application through the assignments to be able to retain as much knowledge about classroom technology as possible. Also, I want to get a more well-rounded education on computers and different techniques in order to be as successful as I can be in my future career/education. The tools we learn throughout this course will not only be useful in our individual classrooms, but we can also educate fellow colleagues and use new techniques in our own classes here at UT. I expect to end this course with a whole new pedagogy of technical tools to use in my continuing education and career even with my beginning apprehensions.
