I took the technology skills inventory assessment again and scored very high. I am comfortable using technology. I am even eager to learn the newest programs. However, my ability to not get “lost” in these programs often finds me spending hours trying to figure it out. I become fascinated with the program and have to see what all it can do in just one sitting instead of just browsing the site for a few minutes.
I realize now that I must limit what I am attempting to do. With so many new programs and applications being introduced every day, I cannot possibly learn them all. I must concentrate on a select few that best fit my needs and the needs of my students. Then I can spend time mastering those programs.
Technology is changing at a rate that most people will not be able to keep up with. The everyday person waits for news about the best website, app, or program to use. We rely on the expertise of friends, educators, and even the younger generation to advise us of the best and easiest to use.
