Technology? More like Stressnology!


Hey folks! My name is Brianne and I am in my fourth year of a Secondary Ed. degree. My major is Health and minor is Social Studies.

As most of you would have experienced.. university requires a lot of hands on use of technology.. well, let me tell you that at times, this was a challenge. Although my Father is a technology guru, I take after my Mom and have very little confidence within the technology "world". Despite being completely tech dumb, I managed to utilize a few classroom enhancing tools during my internship. To name a few; Powerpoint (lol), Google Classroom, Google Plus, Google Play, Google Docs, Google Slides.. and basically anything that Google can offer. I also enjoyed Kahoot, TodaysMeet, Twitter, and Youtube. It seems like Blogging has a stigma around it, like writing your thoughts and creating a site is so hard? IT IS. I have never been one to enjoy designing a template or posting my thoughts.. but, I do see the benefit. In a classroom setting, connecting is vital. In today's world connecting via apps, internet and blogging is just another way to share ideas, expand knowledge and enhance the learning environment.
This is what my face looks like when I hear the word "technology".
