What are some of the next steps that I will take to
increase my knowledge about technology and find out how to apply technologies
in my major and/or future career?
The most important thing moving forward in my career is to stay educated. The easiest way I've learned to do this is to use Google Reader and stay connected to organizations like the NCTE, U.S. Department of Education, as well as CNN and U.S. News & World Report. These sources all will continually stay up to date on current and new trends in technology and their impacts on all of our lives and careers.
Each of these skills with these programs (Microsoft Office, Prezi, Wikis, etc.) need to be practiced and/or refreshed or else I run the risk of losing the knowledge of them. I've been taught how to use Microsoft Excel so many times only to have forgotten how to use it when the time comes to make a spreadsheet. Even if it just means opening something up and making something "for fun" will help keep all this new knowledge in my mind.
Additionally, I need to continue to read about these programs and technologies so that I will be prepared to help my future students learn how to use them as well as being able to use a wide variety myself in the classroom.
Proven time and again to be a valuable resource was the Purdue Online Writing Lab. I will use this to continue to understand citation as well as using it as a resource to help my students understand citation.
