My Bad

I always thought that I had a handle on understanding computers pretty well. I probably could figure most things out if I tried but a survey I took on Profiler Pro showed me how little I actually knew how to do. Most of the questions I had no idea how I to answer them. Because of that fact I realized how poor my technology skills truly are. I am not sure how to translate my scores because I didn’t know how to answer the questions so I am not sure how accurate they results truly are. I did learn a great deal about myself though as I took this quiz. I definitely need to learn how to use technology to my advantage in the classroom. I figured technology was so simple and didn’t realize the vast possibilities it would present me as a teacher. According to the quiz on Profiler Pro there is so much to learn about how to use technology to better improve the classroom. I want to make it a goal to reach into the greater knowledge that the advances of technology now present. I am a fast learner when it comes to technology but lately I have been seeing that technology and I do not always get along. The problem I have with technology is not the fact of knowing how to do things but rather the fact of technology failing when I come around. There have actually been times where I have been trying to do something with a computer and failing when someone else comes and does the exact same thing I have been doing without any troubles. It is frustrating at time because the internet just knows when I am trying hard to get something done but just doesn’t want to see me succeed. I know this might all be in my head but it seems more and more real lately but I know that little by little I will conquer this problem between the computer and I and we will learn how to work together to better the learning of my students when I eventually have a classroom.
