Tech Self-Assessment

After being informed that spring quarter classes will be online, I was very excited and nervous. I was excited because it meant I could stay in my PJs all day and save money not having to commute to and from campus. Aside from those two things, I really didn’t have much more to be excited about. This is when I got nervous. As a typical 21-year-old, I use technology in my personal life every day through the use of social media, however in my professional life I really only use it for school and keeping track of my schedule through the use of a digital planner/calendar.

Despite not being overly confident in my experience with technology, I am eager to begin learning new things and ways to implement the use of technology effectively in my personal and professional life. When my tech tools are “misbehaving”, I feel confident enough to try figuring it out and problem solving on my own, before seeking additional help. This could be my stubborn personality, or my refusal to ask for help until it is absolutely necessary. I am trying to find ways to work on this because I am sure it would save me time in the long run, as I could get back to work/whatever I was doing probably much sooner, if I were to avoid all of the personal trial and error.

As mentioned above, I am excited to learn how to better use and implement technology in my personal and professional life. Technology is advancing and I need to keep up haha!
