I'm a fourth year Literature major, who has just started working on a minor in Information Technology. From here, I hope to attend graduate school for a Masters of Science in Information, specifically focusing on Library Science. From there, I intend on working either as a librarian or as an archivist.

The list of technology I've had experience with in an educational setting includes smartboards, various aspects of Microsoft Office, Kahoot, Quizlet, plenty of online databases for research, and the massively useful left handed desks. Some of these technologies have proven useful for my fulfillment of my coursework, such as Word and Powerpoint. Kahoot and Quizlet are excellent resources for reviewing material, and databases help me find that material in the first place. Left handed desks facilitate my note taking in all of my classes, and I'd love to shake the hand of whoever invented them.

By the end of this class, I'd like to be more conscious of the ways that technology manifests itself in academic environments. This course will also probably broaden my perception of what technology really is, in a classroom setting. Familiarizing myself with how technology can be utilized to facilitate learning and communication has relevance to what I hope to study, as I will be working extensively with informational databases and with others that may need guidance in using available technology as efficiently as possible,
