In chapter 1, the Digital Generation table showed the difference between students from previous generations functioned compared to today's digital students. One thing i thought was interesting about it was the single taskers changing into multitaskers. Using digital technology forces students to multitask.

One thing i learned since the last posting was during our word assignment, while making the quiz i learned how to look online for more clipart. This helps with being more creative with word documents and would be very useful in the classroom as students get bored easily.

My boyfriend left a week ago to spend the rest of the summer in Los Angeles with his friends. We weren't dating when he planned the trip with his friends. I've been a little depressed lately beacause i miss him so much. I've never had a long distance relationship before and i'm kind of afraid of it. I really want things to work out, he comes back in mid August so i'm really looking forward to that. So far things have gone well, we talk on the phone several times a day and no problems yet.

I'm from Clearwater, Florida but i was born and raised in Buffalo, New York. I love to travel and i plan on going to California for the first time in August. I love to do things outside and i always keep myself busy. My major is English Education and i would like to teach high school.

I have been around computers and technology since grade school and I have a basic knowledge of how to use them. I'm not very proficient with new technology but i think it's important for our future. I always have my computer on whether i'm playing music or just checking facebook to keep in touch with friends.

I expect to be more comfortable and efficient with technology used in the classroom especially Excel and Powerpoint. Powerpoint is used a lot in the classroom for lecturing and i would like to be more proficient with it.
