MY DEFINITION OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
Educational technology is the use of different types of technology in the classroom; not only to provide an alternative means to presenting/exploring information, but also to make our students more technologically literate in an advancing world.

HIGH SCHOOL TECHNOLOGY
Had owned 3 personal computers by this time, cell phone, and PDA. I would have considered myself fairly technologically literate
My job required the use of a computer
First experience with an online class
COLLEGE TECHNOLOGY
5 cell phones, 3 computers, and numerous gadgets later…
Able to access the internet from phone, computer, ipod, and tv
Fourth online course 90% of my non-online courses still ‘require’
use of internet and technology of some form.

A TECHNOLOGY I WANT TO USE IN MY CLASSROOM:
MY VISION OF THE CLASSROOM OF THE FUTURE
I would like to see every classroom have a blend of in-class and online components, providing students with flexibility and an opportunity to become self-disciplined
A CHALLENGE FOR TEACHING
Besides the obvious (technical difficulties), I think keeping up with new technology that my students are going to inherently be familiar with will prove to be a challenge
