I am a not so proud member of the Google generation. I cannot function properly without the use of Google and the internet. It has become so bad that at any time watching television my husband and myself will Google something about the television show or the actors involved. When I need to spell a word, I Google. When I want a cool activity to use in class, I Google. I am only twenty-four, but I do remember a time in grade school where dictionaries and encyclopedias existed and were used often. Now, you have to reach students how to use a dictionary because they have no idea.
My search habits are very similar to that of my students and other teens. Google and YouTube are used daily in my life. It may have something to do with my age. I have no idea, but I am starting to think I need help because there has to be some kind of addiction.

Module 1 Resources. . .
When looking at the resources that are provided, I am overwhelmed by a feeling of excitement and fear. All of the resources seem to be related to blogging and online learning. I am starting to feel like I am actually a 21st century learner. This brings a since of joy. but it is also troubling. I don't know what it's going to be like. I am not use to doing this type of stuff. Blogging is very new to me. So far, it does feel very natural. I can feel a connect with my goal and the sites. This may just be the start of a new Mrs. Reynolds. One that blogs and communicates in social world about education.

My Learning Goals this semester. . . .
Generally people assume that because I am young I am into technology. Well in fact, that's so untrue. I like to use technology on my own time. However, I am not comfortable using it in the classroom. I am not accustomed to teachers using a lot of technology. It just feels wrong to me. I am hoping that this semester I get a lot better. This year is coming to an end soon. I would like to find things I can use for my students. Here are my goals:
1). Become more technologically advanced
2). Learn new things that I can bring into my classroom.
3). Become more comfortable with technology.
