Week 2- Educational Technology

  This week in class we learned about different components of a Mac Computer.  I learned how to take a screen shot, add different shortcuts to the desktop of my computer, and also learn about the different icons and keys that are on the Mac Computer.  I found these lessons very helpful because i just purchased a Mac Computer last year and am still getting familiar with how it works.
  This lesson relates to my major which is Special Education because technology is always changing especially in the field of education.  I feel that it is really important for teachers to learn how to use new technology to be on top of the changes.
  Here is a website from wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh , explaining the history of the company Macintosh.  I thought that it was very interesting reading about how much computers changed from when they were first invented.  They were huge desktops at first and now they are as small as something that we can fit into our pockets!
