As I begin EDCI 336, my initial feelings are a mix of curiosity, nervousness, and a bit of confusion. Starting an online education technology course feels different from many of the classes I\u2019ve taken before, and I\u2019ll admit that navigating the platforms and setting everything up was slightly overwhelming at first. There were moments where I wasn\u2019t entirely sure if I was doing things \u201cright,\u201d which brought up some self-doubt. That said, I keep coming back to the idea that growth and learning often come from discomfort. If everything felt easy and familiar, there wouldn\u2019t be much room to stretch or develop new skills. This course already feels like an opportunity to step outside of my comfort zone and engage with technologies that will be increasingly important in my future classroom.<\/p>\n
Despite the initial uncertainty, I\u2019m genuinely excited to see what this semester will bring. I\u2019m looking forward to building confidence with educational technologies and learning how to use them thoughtfully and intentionally, rather than just for the sake of using tech. As a future elementary educator, I see a lot of value in learning how digital tools can support creativity, accessibility, and meaningful learning experiences for students. Overall, while EDCI 336 started with some nerves, I\u2019m choosing to lean into the process. I\u2019m hopeful that by the end of the semester, I\u2019ll not only feel more comfortable with educational technology but also more reflective about how it can support both teaching and learning. This feels like the beginning of an important learning journey, and I\u2019m excited to see how I grow along the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
