Techno Literacy Paper

When we were assigned to write a narrative about our own techno literacy, I thought for a while about how I would approach the assignment. Having a great deal of experience in a variety of areas dealing with technology and education, I didn't know where to focus on. Rather than narrowing in on video games, video editing, graphic or web design, I decided to go way back in my memory and try to tell a broader story about my first experiences with technology and learning with technology. By trying to think about my very first interactions with technology, I was able to remember a few things that I probably would have forgotten about. It was really cool to think about how technology has grown up with me over the past 25 years, and amazing to see the impact that it has had on my life. One thing that I noticed is that often times, education through technology is less about learning a specific subject, less about training and more about learning how to live.
