I use technology as a visual map of my brain in many ways. When I'm feeling overwhelmed with projects, dilemmas, etc., I dialogue with myself using Microsoft Word. Somehow it works! When my finances get out of hand, I use Microsoft Excel Worksheets. For music therapy, I log onto my Pandora account. When I'm feeling nosy, I log onto my Facebook account. When I'm not getting anything done, I log onto my 43things.com account - a sort of TODO/Goal setting site. Technology has become so important to my well-being, I'm not sure I can function without it.
My relationship with technology carries on to my work projects. I use it to communicate, organize, plan, maintain notes, accessorize and much, much more. The Internet, for one, allows me to expand my knowledge base and elevates my output. To identify a single problem I have solved using technology is tough. It has become a natural part of my problem solving process.

Wow! Great post. Why don't you think about getting a Masters degree in Educational Technology?
ReplyDeleteI agree. At this age, we cannot live without technology.
