Basic Background

In considering my background with technology, I feel like I am currently at a "basic" level. I can use the basic softwares--PowerPoint, Word, Excel, etc. Yet, if I am confronted with a software that I am not familiar with, I can most often figure it out using available resources, especially the internet. Sometimes I consult this website or just google it.

One of my main problems with technology, however, is simply an unawareness of what other programs exist that are available for use in the classroom. I know that I probably am not even aware of half of the possible resources I could be using. Therefore, my hope for this class is to expand my knowledge of what technologies are available and how I could implement them in my teaching.
