USE OF TECHNOLOGY

All assignments are designed to provide exposure to all the technology tools available for you to enhance
teaching. For that reason, responses from you regarding how you use technology will assist me in
designing a curriculum that will meet your needs. Secondly, your responses will enable me to identify
areas that you may possibility need more instruction.

The purposes of this assignment are: (1) to provide feedback to your Instructor on what your technology
needs are and (2) to assess your knowledge of educational technology.

All of your responses to the steps below can be typed in the Assignment Submission box. Click on
"Type Submission" and then type your responses.

one on one with you and providing assistance to you in this course.) You cannot answer nothing. You
also cannot type just one word. I really do want to help you in this course and I need everyone to help
me be a better teacher. This is one way I can be a good teacher for you.

- Hello Dr. Orr, first I would lie to start out by saying that I am an athlete I run track and field so my days
are usually spent eating healthy and being active. I think that this class will help me learn to balance how
much time I spend using my technology because I feel as though I do not have a life because sports
consumes most of my free time, so I am very curious as to what you can teach me during this short
period of time. I am very outgoing and I love being interactive so if I have a question I will not be hesitant
to ask!
