Well for starters, my name is Jenny and I am from Grove City, Ohio. I am a junior at Bowling Green and have many interests. I am involved with the Latino Dance Association on campus and am also the president of the horse back riding club on campus. I am also a huge fan of old movies and musicals and really enjoy a good game of racquetball!
I am here in Bowling Green because the education program here is really good. I have known since about sixth grade that I wanted to be a teacher and I am following in the footsteps of several family members before me. Bowling Green seemed like a good place and a good option. I guess I am in this class to learn more about computers. I personally do not like computers very much, and now enough to get through life, but I guess the university has decided that is not enough. So, I am in this class because it is a requirement, but I hope that I will learn many new things. I am not against learning new things, but in general computers frustrate me. I hope that through this class I may learn new things that will help me to not get so frustrated with computers half of the time. I am open to learning new things, but I would probably not have taken this class by choice.
I do believe that the university is right in requiring this class though. Every year computers are becoming a much more important and dominant role in society. There is almost no career out there that does not use a computer in one way or another. I believe that integrating technology into the classroom at a young age is really good because it is preparing students for the real world. If students are not getting a good basis in computers before they are thrown into a situation where they need to be capable of navigating a system, then they will not be very successful. I think it is essential that we, as teachers, introduce technology in the early years.
