EDTC614 Activity 1.1 Introduction

My name is Aimée Stork and I teach music to kindergarten through 5th grade students at Rose Hill Elementary in Adams 14 School District (Commerce City, CO). I am taking this course as part of my Master's in Instructional Technology in order to gain a better understanding of how to integrate technology into the curriculum. The first word that comes to mind when I think about my relationship with technology is curiosity. There are so many things out there that I have yet to understand. The other two words would be excitement and productivity. I get excited about new technology whether it's for fun or for learning, and I also use technology quite a bit in my daily life in so many ways to enhance what I normally do. I am struggling a bit as to the question of which category I fall into. By birth year I would fall under the Gen X category, but in many ways I feel more like a digital native. I am comfortable with technology in a way that many of my peers are not. I think that it is possible to be a mix and have the characteristics of a generation shaped by its experiences but also "move with the times". - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
