Reflection #3

Personally, I find technology extremely intimidating, though I know it is a necessary tool for the educational process of the 2000's I still find myself lost in the multiple button pressing, screen views and key terms. In my class Instructional Design we learned how to use a Document Camera. My professor, Lucinda Garrett used someone's lack of understanding of the technology as a teaching moment and we were all able to learn how to connect the camera's view to the Smart Board. This was a very helpful teaching moment and I learned two major things. First of all, don't ever make as student feel bad for not knowing how to use technology and in turn (2) you can use the moment to teach your students something new while being a flexible teacher.
