Creations with Technology

I read my email from Dr. D. and she was interested in finding out what I create with technology. Here's a sampling of some of the things that I have created with technology. When I was in my twenties, I worked for six years for a software company where I worked in the publishing department. I was trained as a typesetter on an AM Varityper system, and I also learned word processing on a PC. I created various collateral material for the company to help market their products, and I also was the editor of their international company newspaper.
I stayed home for six years to be a full time mother of two children. We purchased our first Gateway PC and had so much fun creating cards and other projects with Greetings Workshop. I ended up teaching pre-school and kindergarten where I typed parent letters, newsletters, and school papers. I changed jobs and became an instructor for the 8th grade laptop class in an urban district and learned how to use the various software programs in 1999-2000. I created slide shows and helped the children with their various projects using the internet.
In graduate school, I have researched papers using the internet, and also used Microsoft Office. I have used Blackboard in the past for assignments and to participate in online discussions.
In my present position, I use email, moodle, provide students with links for projects, create webquests with the tech teacher, help children use the computer and internet, and create banners for my bulletin board. In the future, I will be using moodle to communicate with parents and students on a regular basis. I know that this is just touching the surface after reading about Web 2.0, but it's a start. I'm hopeful that this course will help me have new "conversations" in cyberspace. I realize that I have so much to learn.
