Edst 221: Day 1
In my experience as a student from K-12, technology did not become a prominent part until high school. My elementary experiences did not involve a lot of use of technology; however, I do remember we would get computer time a couple times a week in which we would take online tests to help us type better and increase our knowledge on how to navigate around the internet and computers in general. In high school internet became my main source of information. With the increase and necessity of research, the internet became a great and efficient tool to gather and organize information. The internet provides many different opportunities for learning and allows students to explore various topics more in depth. I feel as though I have a great understanding of all of the opportunities the internet has to offer; however, this class had made me realize I haven't even scratched the surface. I have a lot to learn about the internet as well as how its use can be applied in the classroom.

Wow, I am fascinated by your posts. I, too, really like to look at color and pattern. It excites me and make me want to create. I try to paint and I am mostly self taught. It is invigorating. Technology is also like this for me. I can see how technology could allow students to open their own creative juices. Some of my students cannot draw but they can create very cool digital art. The technology gives them confidence. I would like to know what tools you use and what you think.
