I took the millennial quiz again and I scored a 94 %, which is one percent higher than I made before! This quiz is funny, because I know exactly what is keeping me from getting a 100 percent. I rate high because I only have a cell phone, among other things, but I know the reason I scored higher this time is because I answered that I did not watch television programming. I watch television, but do not often watch regular programming. We watch films on demand or stream Netflix. I do not score a 100 percent because I when I get into work I take a look at the local newspaper. Millennials get their news from the Internet, and I usually do too, but lately I have been sneaking a peek at actual newspapers. As I have stated before in this blog, I do not have a history with being up on the technology. It wasn't until I started teaching at a laptop school in 2004 that I became an information junkie. My dad even got an iPhone AND an iPad before me!! But, I think my being readily adaptable to new things and new technologies makes me a better teacher, or at least a better prepared one! I have really enjoyed this course and it has really pushed me to the boundaries of my comfort zone and gotten me to try new things. I have high hopes that I will continue to use some of the technologies learned about over this course in both my everyday life as well as to enhance my teaching.
