The Tech-Enhanced Journey #1

Technology has become an essential part of my daily life, and I can't imagine living without it. I feel very comfortable using various tech tools for everyday tasks because they make things so much more convenient. I rely on technology for my education and at my job. During the COVID pandemic, I served an LDS mission, and I came to realize just how crucial technology was in connecting with people and sharing my faith. Even after my mission, I continued to work from home, and even now, while I'm far away at BYU Hawaii, technology keeps me connected with my loved ones through video calls, which is especially important in my long-distance relationship. Technology has had a major impact on many aspects of my life which I'm grateful for it.

I want to learn how to use technology to make teaching and learning more exciting and effective. I hope to figure out how to use technology in different subjects and classrooms. By the end of this course, I want to know how to make learning more fun and help students work together, be creative, and take charge of their own learning using technology. It's important because it can make education better for the students I'll teach in the future.
