My Wow Moment

Although I was highly impressed by the many wonderful resources and opportunities in education technology (and can’t wait to use the programs more!), there really is only one “wow” moment that I had all semester. As silly as it may sound, my “wow” moment was how wonderful the Mac computer is! It was the very first time that I used a Mac for a decent amount of time, as I have a Dell at home and typically use a PC elsewhere. However, I soon became quite familiar with the Mac and am pleased to say that I really like its features, its tools (like Garage Band!) and find that it is much easier to use. I also feel like the picture quality is much better on the Mac and that it made viewing a computer screen much easier on the eyes. Unfortunately, I don’t know if I am able to get a new computer any time soon. The good news, however, is that I believe most schools have Apple computers in their labs (and 1:1 laptops for teachers and students!). Perhaps I will be blessed with the opportunity to use one more fully in the future. For now, I am glad to have been able to learn its intricacies and to reduce any “Mac fear” that may have overwhelmed me in the past. I’ll take a bite out of the Apple any day!
