Reflection #1

In the first week back to school I have learned how technology is helping students by making school easier for them. After the first week of school I realized that I was writing down notes that were posted online for me to use, so being aware of how much extra work I began to download the notes on my computer and take it to class with me. In just the first week it has saved me a lot of time and has stopped me from doing work that has already been done for me. I am going to use this semester as an experiment to see if this form of note taking will help me in my classes, but just with the time that I have saved I can see why it is important for all students to have access to a computer and how important it is for teachers to post class notes and keep their online class outline up to date. I started this semester afraid of technology in education because I believe that it will take away face to face action but in just one week I have seen how beneficial technology can be to a student.
