Bob Sales created a final presentation for his ED451 class documenting his experience becoming more technology proficient. Initially, Bob was reluctant to learn new computer skills and programs. Through the course, he started to understand basic computer terminology and learn about available tools. By completing projects and getting help from others, Bob gained confidence in his abilities by the final presentation and felt better prepared as an educator to use technology.
