Looking back at my previous posts I have noticed that technology has shaped both my life and education in both positive and negative ways. I realized that my attitudes towards technology are directly affected by my previous experiences. I never really knew much about technology or computers when I was younger. They were just becoming popular and were still pretty expensive. When I was in Elementary School, I got my first taste of technology with the Apple Computers; but those never really sparked my interest.
Once I reached the upper grades in my Elementary School I got introduced to the Dell Computers which I loved. But I never really understood what a computer could do until I reached Middle School and had to take technology classes. However, once I left that class the only thing I could remember was how to type correctly and fast. Maybe that is why I am still a little computer illiterate today. I never really had the chance or interest to explore the computer and everything that it is capable of performing. Hopefully this class will help open my eyes to the all the benefits that both computers and technology can have in both my future teaching carreer and life.

thats funny that you talk about the early macs, because I remember being in school and having those early macs with colorful backs. I used to think that they were so cool but i didn't understand how to really use them. I never really became comfortable with computers until the dells, where we got to use powerpoint and clip art and things like that.
