I consider myself a fairly tech savvy person, but sometimes in my teacher preparation I worry about the sheer number of applications, software, and pieces of technology that I will be responsible for (in addition, of course, to "regular" teacher duties). I can't keep track of all my passwords now; just how organized will I have to be to keep track of not just my own, but all my students who will forget or lose theirs on a weekly basis?
Also, I am not confident in my savviness enough to feel like I can teach technology. I tend to be more of a dabbler. I will figure something out eventually, but not usually in a way that will help another person understand how to get there!
In this class, I look forward to and am anxious about building a web page from scratch. I am excited about the possibility of showing my portfolio online, but I worry that I will not have the requisite skills to make my page particularly professional or presentable to possible employers. Hopefully, the perfectionist in me will come to some sort of truce with the practical minded get-'er-done part of me and I will end up with a product that is perfectly good enough.
Luckily, this class is large enough and with a broad enough range of technology experience that I feel like I can help some students and be helped along by others. I am in a good position to have a great learning experience in this class because of that blend of ability and experience levels here.
