Technology Operations and Concepts: Teachers demonstrate a sound understanding of technology operations and concerts.

      A.     Demonstrate introductory knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts related to technology.

      B.     Demonstrate continual growth in technology knowledge and skills to stay abreast of current and emerging technologies.

     A/B.  Before taking Computers in Education, I didn’t really know much about technology.  In fact, people would mention technology and I would shutter.  I knew enough about technology to get by in school.  I could make a PowerPoint presentation and type a paper, but that was about all I could do.  I used my computer to edit pictures and check my email, but I learned most of the things I know by exploration.  After taking Computers in Education, I feel more confident in my abilities to incorporate technology into my teaching.  I learned about things like Kidspiration, WebQuests, and using PowerPoint for more than just presentations.  Now I feel more confident in my abilities to, someday, incorporate technology into my lessons in order to enhance learning.
