The power went out... i'll google how to fix it! Oh..wait..

I forgot how much I hate technology until I attempted the first assignment of the course. None of the website were easy to use, had the option of saving, or direction on how to use them. After 5 hours of going through every site, trying to create a project, and failing miserably, I remembered why I dropped this course the first time I signed up. In addition I was reminded of the first rule of teaching; never assign your student work that they do not know how to do. Like other students that suffer from a teacher assignment to "just try this", "we haven't learned it yet", "you must have some background knowledge", I instantly became frustrated, stressed, upset, angry, and had to stop myself from punching my computer screen into pieces. I think it should be mandatory for teachers to teach all materials and knowledge a student needs to know before sending them off to complete a related assignment. That is my biggest hesitation of this course. As much as I hate technology, I am not opposed to learn how to use it. The issue is, I need to be taught first. If I were to take a lesson on how to fly a plane, the instructor would not throw me the keys and say there's the plane, figure it out. Learning is about teaching. I want to become a teacher to help every child like me who used to lock herself in the bathroom because she couldn't do her homework. I want to help every student like me who hates school, not because she is lazy, but because she doesn't understand. I want to teach every student like me who had to drop out of their school sport to receive extra help after school. I want to motivate every student like me, who doesn't think they will make it through. I'm determined to make it through.
