Hi my name is Cathy and this is the first blog I have ever had. I'm not going to lie, I am a bit nervous about this blogging thing as I have not had much previous experience with computers apart from using them to type up assignments and the Uni's moodle site. I find using new technologies very daunting, but I must admit once I get the hang of them, they can be very interesting and even enjoyable.

Relying on technology cont....
So my first experience of using technology in the classroom did not go smoothly. I have learnt a lot though, firstly as a teacher I need to always have a back up plan and secondly always test it out thoroughly before using it in the classroom. I do think this is one of the major reasons that teachers are hesitant to embrace technology in the classrooms. Technology has come a long way, but it's success still relies on factors such as power sources, downloading speed, and internet availability. I believe in time this will all change and their reliability will increase as it has continued to do over the history of technology, and this will encourage more teachers to bring technology into their classrooms.
