Today we completed our fifth class of Education 250. Quite honestly it feels like we have just finished the fifth week of this class. We have taken in a ton of information and details and at points my brain feels like it is going to explode.
The amount of different websites we have to visit, tests we have to take to enroll in the program and blogs we have to post and respond to is a bit overwhelming. I am definitely not a technology person, so it may be a little more overwhelming for me than for others. I am an old style pen and paper note taker and do not enjoy signing papers and taking notes online and always being on the computer. But guess what... I'm going to have to get used to it because I am going to be using technology for the rest of my teaching career.
On the fifth day of class we are already studying, analyzing, and making infomercials on philosophies. That is something that is very advanced, however I do feel prepared and feel like we are ready to take on the task. Our professors have given us a lot of responsibilities, but in a good way. Once we become teachers in just a few years we will have even more tasks to preform and responsibilities to take on so they are just getting us prepared for the real world. Every day we get closer and closer to being in the real world which is exciting but also very scary in a way.
I can relate to this post in a million different ways. I am far from a technology person. I would rather do everything the old fashioned pen and paper way, but that is just not how the world works anymore, unfortunately. It is crazy how much we have all learned with only being in the class for a total of 5 days, but I am completely excited to continue in this course.
