MTT Classes in General

Looking back over the four MTT classes, I am genuinely amazed at the wide array of technology skills I have acquired and technology programs that I have learned about. I remember dropping a class in summer school during my undergraduate degree because it required me to make several PowerPoint presentations and work a little with Adobe Photoshop. I still don’t know much about Adobe Photoshop, but would gladly play around with it to learn. Dropping that class seems so silly to me now, but I distinctly remember being scared to death by it because I had NEVER made a PowerPoint presentation before. I was 22 when I took that class, how crazy is that?

The only technology class offered in my small private school was computer programming. I passed the class, but learned very little. I was much more interested in the boys that filled the class than I was in learning how to write a program. I remember very clearly not getting my final program to perform a specific task and simply throwing my hands up because “I hated computers.” Then, not six years later, I was teaching BCIS to high school students and assuring them that I could do it they could do it. The journey to Master Technology Teacher has been an interesting one, but well worth the trip.
