Daily Technology

My daily use of technology varies depending on what day of the week it is. Saturday-Wednesday I am a stay at home mom, and I generally only use my phone and my laptop. On my phone I use a wide variety of apps - the camera to take photos of my baby, Facebook to stay in touch with my family and friends, and mail to check my email, just to name a few. I use my laptop to complete my homework, so I use the Internet and Microsoft Word.

On Thursdays and Fridays I work as a financial aid specialist at a local college. On these days I use much more advanced programs on a desktop computer.

On average I would say I spend atleast 1-2 hours per day using technology. Technology certainly benefits my education as it allows me to complete the majority of my schoolwork from home, on my time. I would not otherwise be able to attend college.

Class Website Project

I have really enjoyed creating a website. This has been my favorite project so far, because it allows for creativity. The only struggles I came across while creating my website were finding resources for my links, and embedding my calendar. I could not get the calendar to display even after copy and pasting the html code several times.
I enjoyed getting to design the website the way I wanted it. I was able to choose a template, though the website builder I used was limited on choices. This may have actually been a good thing, though, because if there were many choices I likely would have wasted too much time trying to find the cutest one. I also enjoyed creating each page of the website, though it was sometimes a struggle to come up with fake information.
Overall I really liked this project. I feel like it will be really useful when I get to the classroom. Class websites are an excellent tool for maintaining communication with parents.
