In this road we call life, we bump into many obstacles. Why? It is to learn from the experience. If everything was easy, what would we learn? Nothing. Life without its challenges is not worth living. It is the will to overcome these road blocks, we call problems, that makes it worthwhile. So, how does this relate to my experience in ED 451 "Audio & Visual Education?" It practically sums up my expectations and my determination.
I have learned that I need to learn more about technology. This class taught me that I was only seeing things "at the tip of the iceberg." There was more than mere surfing the internet, sending e-mails and using digital applications. Dr. Cyrus, the professor of ED451, showed me what was beyond Google and Microsoft applications. She showed the value of a good search engine, web browser and a good platform for education (moodle). She showed us possibilities of these technological tools in and outside a classroom. She showed us the future of education with technology. But, I believe we only scratched the surface of a much deeper world of possibilities.
Like in the Matrix when Morpheus told Neo about the truth, "I can only show you the door. It is you that must open it." I think Dr. Cyrus was Morpheus and Neo is us. I still have a long way before I can be consider a professional, as a educator and in technology. However, I believe I will get there.
