Creating this blog opened my eyes to the challenges of utilizing online resources for the first time. I think of myself as a quite adaptive learner but being met with the open education website for the first time I found myself at a bit a a loss. There was so much to take in and I felt like I was following instructions more than I was thinking about what I was doing. This experience helped me realize that technology although it’s something I’m familiar with I have come nowhere close to mastering. The blog will be a great way to reflect on my experiences with learning new technologies in class and how I can apply them to my teaching. It will also be interesting to look back in the blog in the future to see if what I type now holds up with my views in 5 or 10 years.
