I am a Digital Immigrant
Although I am much too old to be a digital "native," I consider myself very techno-savy and am usually on the early end of adopting different technologies. In the 80s I programmed computers in BASIC, FORTRAN, PASCAL and C and also integrated equipment in with computers so that the equipment was driven by the computer and the program that I wrote for it. In the late 90s I was doing something innovative at the college campus that I taught at - I was teaching my fellow faculty members to use power points for their teaching presentations. I also designed and programed part of the schools website. Currently I use the web extensively as part of my teaching practice. My students use my class website and my edmodo site as part of the classes I teach. I have my own youtube channel and produce video tutorials for my students. I am also putting together an online classroom for the blended astronomy class that I am teaching this summer. I also have websites for my photography business and my art. Even my 12 year old daughter, Athena, has a website for the rabbits she raises.
