Revised–Educational Technology: The Discussion Board
Week 11:
Finally! I have added voice and sound to my previous presentation on The Discussion Board. I realized that I have a lot to learn. But am so very excited at what I have learned so far. I have learned that when there are error, it is so easy to blame the program, and not the user. After checking and back-tracking, I realized that I erred in not uploading my photographs and other media first–then the slides. Something so exhausting, was so simple to correct–yet, it took me two weeks to figure it out.

“My Life in Digital”
The advancements in technology have impacted my personal, social, family and career life. I don’t think there is any aspect of my life that is in unaffected by computer, cell phone or other portable communication/locator device. How did I ever make it through the day without my cell phone, cable internet, gps or lap top? I can definitely say that I am a child of the Age of Technology. From the time my programmable coffee maker awakens me to the smell of freshly perked coffee; until I sign-off on my lap top, and lay awake with the timer on my television set to automatically turn off at 11:30 pm–I am impacted by the advancements of the Technology Age.
