Blog Post # 1 Technology and Learning

Being part of Generation X has offered me the opportunity to grow up using many types of technologies. I've been taking classes online for a few years now so I've had the opportunity to experience how technology is incorporated with learning. Overall, I've had very positive experiences with technology. It's definitely helped me become more productive and efficient in my professional life. For example, I was in a class last semester where students were in charge of putting together teaching materials for an assigned chapter. Most everyone utilized PowerPoint to share the information, however there was a student who used Lucid Chart. I had no idea this technology even existed. There was a bit of a learning curve the first time I went through the presentation as I didn't initially realize how it worked. I'm very excited to do a little digging on this technology! I'll make sure to report my findings in a future post so keep an eye out!
