A Recent Digital Native

It is almost comical in some ways for me to call myself a digital native. But I believe after many technological mishaps, I have made it to that point.
I have improved a great deal since my family got our first computer. At this time I was convinced that everything I did would give the computer a virus. It was a struggle to turn the computer on and off and just to get the mouse pointer to land directly on the large X to close out the box.
Since then, my education and societal norms have forced me to embrace things such as power point and instant message. Throughout college I have learned increasingly more about technology. Throughout education classes and switching my personal computer I am now familiar with both PC's and apple computers. I am now able to navigate my way through almost any type of phone and text at an obscene rate.
Although some of my new technological skills may seem pretty average, I believe they will be of use to me as a future teacher. I am currently in a classroom where my teacher has used a video camera to record book reports and a giant wall projector to show lessons on his own personal computer screen. I hope by observing how my CT implements technology in the classroom and my rocky-but improved past with computers that I can bring effective technology in my future classroom.
