Technology is not my friend. While we may get along on the surface, deep down we don't really understand one another.
I have a fairly adequate background with technology. I can complete basic technological tasks in order to make my day more convenient. I have taken several technology classes throughout my career as a student. These classes have given me the skills necessary to navigate my way through Word, Power Point and Excel fairly efficient and quickly. Although I was launched into the email and Internet world somewhat slower than my friends, I quickly learned to utilize these skills into my daily life. I am able to complete research and find answers to questions that I have using the Internet.
While I have a basic understanding of technology, I am not familiar with the fancier aspects of it. I can perform simple tasks, but know relatively little about some of the newer and fancier technological innovations. I am excited to take this course and become comfortable enough with technology to apply it in a classroom setting.

Learning the things that are useful to you is the most important thing - it is not as important to learn the "fancy" things. I believe it is important though to develop confidence in your ability to learn new technologies and to assess their usefulness to you as a teacher.
