All throughout grade school and during my three years at towson I have used technology in many of my classes. During grade school, mostly in science classes, my teachers provided us with powerpoints as their source of notes. I also became very familiar with using powerpoints myself to complete projects. Throughout college I have gotten the opportunity to become familiar with using blackboard. I have used blackboard in many of my classes as a source of turning in assignments and communicating with my class members. The most recent class I have used blackboard as a source of communication was in my African American Literature class that I took second semester sophomore year. This class was 50% in class and 50% online. Every week we had to read a piece of literature and post our reactions on blackboard. After we posted, we had to respond to at least 4-5 other member's posts in the class. I really liked having 50% of the class online because to me it was much more efficient then listening to lectures twice a week. I think having us use blackboard was good because knowing that I had to post every week encouraged me to constantly read and complete my homework. A more recent class where I used technology a lot was in my ELED 320 class. In this class we had many grammar presentations to complete in which powerpoint was an option to use. I found that powerpoint helped a lot because my group members and I got to teach my class, for example Grammar in Context, in a clear and understandable way. Everything we put on the slides we discussed more thoroughly to make sure that my class members understood it. I like using powerpoint for presentations and I definitely like when professors use it as well.
