My Learning Goals for TPTE 486

I do not have a lot of skills when it comes to technology, and I pretty much just stick to the basics when it comes to using a computer. Word, PowerPoint, and the Internet are really the only programs that I utilize on the computer, and I am hoping that taking TPTE 486 will allow me to reach outside of my comfort zone and learn more about the world of technology. Also, since it is my goal to teach elementary school, I would like to learn how to use technology in the classroom as a learning tool. Most children today are accustomed to many forms of technology, and I think that it would be a powerful tool to use to motivate and inspire children.
