Growing Pains
I was really nervous to take this class because I am not super savvy with technology. I do not like being in a classroom where I will be acutely aware of my inexperience and weaknesses. However, I think this can be a positive experience for me. Some of my future students will feel the same about English class (“I don’t get this.” Or “I’m no good at this stuff.”) To remember how vulnerable this feels will help me reach out to my students in the future. My goal for this class is to learn, learn, and learn some more. I am fascinated (in spite of myself) by technology and all it can accomplish. I really enjoy good graphics and well designed sites. I worked with an old letter press all last school year and learned a lot about design, form and balance. I want to continue to learn about these artistic elements using computers and technology. Mostly, I want to find cool resources that I think will engage my future students and get them thinking and creating. So the beginning of this class for me is bittersweet and growing pains usually are.
