Reflection #1

Most of my daily use of technology comes from my phone, but other than that usually comes from school. Whether is using websites like canvas or learning how to use new technology such as Zoom to a part of classes it’s all about being adaptable. In my spare I do photography, so I have learned programs such as Photoshop and light room where I’m constantly learning new information or new ways to do things in the programs. I usually find sources such as YouTube as great resources to learn how to do new things since I am a visual learner. 

I feel pretty comfortable with technology since we are constantly using it in our daily lives. Personally, I try to keep up with the ever-changing technology, but sometimes it can be overwhelming. However, I’m always willing to learn and be open to change. 

When something doesn’t go according to plan or isn’t coming out the way that I have planned. The first step that I usually take is make go to the least or greatest opacity to see what that option would do to whatever I’m working on, basically trial and error. If that doesn’t work then I will either look up a YouTube video or go on google to see if I can find a solution. When technology doesn’t work out the way you wanted it to sometimes you just have to adapt to the situation or potentially get help from others.

From this quarter I hope to learn about new resources that I can utilize in my future classroom such as programs, tools, and lessons. Also, to learn some of the best ways to integrate technology into the classroom in different ways that are beneficial to students.
