I think for me the biggest Aha moment I had was when I was working on my e-portfolio. This is because I realized that I can make all of my information and ideas for class projects available for everyone. This could really help the class to be more involved in techonology.
My philosophy at the beginning of the semester was to try and find ways to incorporate technology into a physical education program that didn't take away from the students activities. The goal is to help them use the internet to be more active, if that's possible. I have found that there are numerous ways to have students achieve this, mainly through group work where they can help each other post their games and workout ideas in one central location so that way an entire class can view them and get new ideas. The internet is also a great source of information to learn about new activities and games for the students to enjoy. My philosophy has stayed the same for the most part but now I am able to better direct the students and give them more resources then before.

Blog #4
I was never one to take my laptop to class to take notes because I just felt more comfortable writing the notes on paper. eventhough I can type way faster then I can write it down it just seemed to be more convienient.
Once I got my new phone I was able to download apps that can help me remember dates or combine contacts emails, phone numbers, and address into one spot. If I ever need to remember something I have to put it into my phone because otherwise I will forget it or forget where I put the paper I jotted it down on. This has made me leaps and bounds more organized and I only wish that I would've had it sooner while I was in my early college years.
When attending meetings I never take my laptop. Instead I tend to write down notes and then the things I need to remember that are important I put into my phone or will send myself an email later on. I know I am creating more work for myself than I need to but it's just a habit I suppose.
I always make sure to have my cell phone with me so that I may check emails or look numbers to businesses or schools up if I need to. This has proven very helpful and has made me extremely more effective in staying up to date.
When working on my cell phone I am able to work on numerous activities at once. If I am working on something on my computer, like this class for instance I have to make sure to focus in on each assignment because I will want to check my facebook or other things that can take me from my work.
I am an avid video games player. I have both a PS3 and XBOX 360 I am always playing a new game. It's also an easy way to use other media such as netflix and hulu. It makes it easier to talk to my brother who lives in Florida because we can play a game of Madden and chat while we play.
I would consider myself to be in the generational category of either connected or social. I don't have the need yet to do everything through technology at a moments notice but I make sure to keep up with how technology is changing and making things faster and more convienient.
