So far, I am really excited about this class as it’s giving me an opportunity to expand my tech knowledge, as well as post recipes! I love cooking, especially for other people, so I’m pumped to share my creations for others to try. As for the technology side of things, the first class made me a little anxious. I am eager to learn more in this class, but technology frustrates me a lot of times. I am relatively good a it, as I grew up in a generation surrounded by it, but I still get vexed by the amount of technology that we have to keep up with. Even in this program, I am feeling defeated by the amount of platforms we are having to sign up for and keep track of. It seems that each class there is at least 2 different platforms to follow. Assignments get lost when there’s too many sites to check, and it’s causing me a lot of stress in a “pass or fail” program. However, Joanna seems to be very helpful in trying to alleviate tech problems, so it’s nice having profs that care about our success. Not to mention, the freedom of projects is nice as it opens the door to creative learning options. All in all, I’m excited to understand technology deeper for the benefit of myself, and for my students.
