Yesterday I didn't blog. I hit the wall. Tech overload. After class on Tuesday, I worked on my website from 6pm to 12am. Between this and all of the new tech I learned Monday - Tuesday, the new learning on Wednesday seemed to be too much. I did not acheive much on Wednesday in the sense of personally learning a lot of new tech or progressing on my website or webquest. However, I helped several of my classmates during class and discussed a lot of tech ideas with my classmates.
Taking wednesday a little bit easier seems to have helped. Today I returned to class ready to work and learned a great deal of new tech. There was a lot of progress that happened in my learning and developing of my website today.
The experience has helped me understand how overwhelming some of the technology must be. While they are not only trying to learn the tech, they are also trying to acheive learning goals outside of learning the technology also. This year I will make sure that I am aware of how overwhelming learning so much new tech can be.
Thanx for sharing that even as a digital native you found all the new tech information we were learning, overwhelming. We did learn a lot!!
ReplyDeleteI found it enriching to have your perspectives on technology as part of our class discussions.
