Dee's Bubble: EME 2040 Reflections

As a student, I have used Microsoft Word countless times. I have written essays, assignments, blog journals, discussion boards, and other material using the program. I also have used it for projects, resumes, and formal letters. I often use MS Word for word count purposes when I need to know the count for a specific goal or when I need to reference the page layout for a specific count. For example, 1000 worlds doubled spaced at 12 point font is about 3-5 pages. I have seen teachers use MS Word for multiple occasions as well. Handouts, worksheets, surveys, syllabus, homework, informational letters, and  important documentation are just some of the few ways I have seen the program put to use. When writing essays and other assignments, especially as a college student, I have learned the importance of plagiarizing and citing my work. It is imperative that as a student, I give credit where it is due when using someone else's words. Once when I was taking a class, we all had to writ...

As time continues to pass by, technology becomes more and more integrated into our lives as humans. Even the young generations have become acclimated with cell phones, especially social media.

Of course there are pros and cons to this arrangement but technology involved in education, used efficiently, can be positively dangerous. Sometimes there can be a disconnect from the real world because we tend to get wrapped up in the digital world. Teachers can use this to their advantage by incorporating tech in the classroom. Smart Boards, laptops, and a few other devices have made their way into the classroom in a novel way. It is also important to acquire skills that will keep you up to date with your peers. Using and learning with technology will equip you with these skills. Also, not every student has equal opportunity to access these technological resources and using them in the classroom may be bene...

I have grown up using technology like a lot of my fellow millennials have. Starting in elementary school, I was attached to my desktop screen playing computer games after school. Soon after, I became aware of the technology that I was using in school: laptops, projectors, and recently, smart boards. I received my first cell phone in 3rd grade, but upgraded to a smart phone in about 8th grade. Accessing the Internet on my cell phone was revolutionary. I hope to learn more about technology and how it is being incorporated in our lives at such a fast rate. I also hope to brush up on my programming skills and learn new techniques. I am interested to learn about the technology that is being incorporated in the classroom as well and how students can use these resources efficiently.
