Technology has always been a big part of my life, maybe not so much when I was younger but it has gradually become a necessity on a daily basis. I remember getting my very first computer. It was a Packard Bell, which at the time, was top line. I had dial-up Internet which was very slow and there were not many programs on the computer that I could use. As far as music, I used cassette tapes and c.d. players to listen to music as a child. My parents had a huge video camera that we would have to carry on every vacation. My first cell phone was used only for calls and text messages.
Now, in the 21st Century, my computer is now portable. I have a laptop that I can carry anywhere I go including school. I have wireless Internet that is so much faster then dial-up. There are so many new and exciting programs on the computer that can keep me occupied for hours of the day. I also have an iPOD touch that I use to listen to all types of music as well as watch any dvd or you tube video you can imagine. I have a 10.0 megapixel digital camera that takes amazingly clear pictures. It is the size of my cell phone. Speaking of cell phones, I can not only call or text someone, but I can also use it for the Internet, camera, and even gps.
Technology has obviously changed so much in the 22 years I have been around. I am 100% positive it will continue to change rapidly. As a teacher, I will need to keep up-to-date on the changes so I can use those new "hip" technologies in my classroom to keep the students engaged in their learning.
