Reflection Paper Assignment

Delaney Johns wrote a reflection paper for an EDT 180 iCourse. In the paper, Johns discusses how the class helped achieve the objective of gaining computer literacy and a foundation in how technology works. Johns can now complete computer-based tasks more easily and with confidence, rather than asking family for help. Johns is also more proficient with Google applications like Docs and Sheets, which are helpful for group projects. Additionally, Johns better understands the role of technology in classrooms, businesses, and other environments and sees its growing importance. Johns now feels more comfortable trying new programs and has confidence that with time and effort, understanding of technology can be achieved.

Reflection Paper Assignment

Reflection
The main focus of this class has been to help me achieve computer literacy. I believe that this
class has helped to provide me with a firm foundation in how technology works and the
importance of technology in everyday life. I believe that I am able to achieve the first objective,
which is to approach new computer-based tasks more easily and with greater confidence. In the
past I would automatically call my brothers, who are computer science majors and ask for help
on even little things. I am now able to at least try and figure out how to achieve and do a task that
involves technology.
I am also much more familiar with a majority of Google based applications, which is objective
#13. Before, I had more trouble navigating google software, but now I am able to work on
google applications and know what I am doing. I am much better at utilizing google docs and
spreadsheets for assignments. I have found these to be especially helpful when I am working on
documents that I want to work on with other classmates. For example, in my communications in
the workplace class I constantly am working on group projects. We are always utilizing google
docs to work with other people in the group and to contribute together on the assignment. Before,
I had more trouble utilizing it and sharing it with others. Now, I am able to use it to comment on
other people’s work and add suggestions without changing their work.
I also am better at objective 4, which is to discuss the functions of computers in classrooms,
businesses, homes, and other environments. I believe that this class has showed me the
importance of technology and why it is important to be literate in technology. In the past, I never
really saw a point to understanding technology, because I could just ask others for help if I didn’t
understand something. Now I understand other ways it can help you other than just
understanding how it works. I never saw a use for understanding coding in the past, because I
thought it didn’t matter since I wasn’t going to code. Now I see how it can help building problem
solving skills and help to introduce math and counting to younger kids. I also believe that
understanding technology will help a lot in the future, since it is now used everywhere. To be
able to stay ahead, a business would have to use technology since it is always advancing and
coming out with new ways to do things.
I now feel more comfortable with trying to understand new programs and applications. They are
not as scary to think about and I now feel that I can understand how to use them if I just take the
time to try and understand them. To be able to get an internship for my future career I have to
understand how to use a program called indesign. At first I was worried since I don’t understand
technology very well. Yet, this class has helped to show me that with time and effort, I will be
able to understand and excel in it.
