When I was a kid, they said that my generation was made up of "digital natives"-- that we grew up using computers, that interacting with technology was natural to us. When compared with the generations before us, this is true. But look at kids today!
I don't want to be like some of the teachers I had, that could never get a projector working, that could never play a movie...it was embarrassing. I want to be comfortable using the kinds of technology you find in the classroom (I have never even touched a smart board).
Also, I want to know how to use technology as a tool in the classroom, not just tacking things on. I want it to work for me, to make communication and teaching easier, not harder.
I'm comfortable using a computer and the technology that's become a part of everyday life, but I want to know more about how to use it in education.
