**LAMAR UNIVERSITY INTERNSHIP - 2010**

**ABOUT ME:** This wiki is the product of many long hours working towards my Master's of Education, emphasis Educational Technology. Located within the contents of this wiki will be assignments associated with the Internship portion of my program. This will become my electronic portfolio. At times there will be links to past assignments, please take the time to view. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. I am ready to revolutionize the educational system with technology. We are not currently using our resources or time wisely when it comes to educating today's youth. The current generation of student's do not view technology in terms of what it can do for them, but what they can do with the technology. I have witnessed the differences between the digital natives and digital immigrants. I have a 17 year old son, who interacts with his technology gadgets with full force. I still feel the need to have a hard copy calendar and an electronic one, he does not. I print from the computer, he does not. As he says, "there is no need, bookmark it and go back to it". He runs his entire life from his phone and social networking sites. Today's youth are fearless with technology. Many spend time reading how to books and the youth of today dive in and explore what they can do with whatever gadget is on hand at that moment. The most important thing I learned about myself throughout this process is my ability to tackle a new task. Even working with the time contraints I was still able to apply and understand new technology concepts. I take away from this program the ability to incorporate technology in the classroom with confidence and successfulness.
