Highschool, I need to think about my future. I don’t have a lot of time left, and taking these high level classes have started to help me accurately prepare for College.

couple months now I have seen a lot of differences between this and high school. My experiences in high school were overall pretty positive. I had a good friend group, did really well in school, was involved, and played volleyball all four years. When it came to school work and having to absorb new information, people did not struggle since teachers made an effort to always make sure you were succeeding and had all the necessary tools laid out in front of you in order to pass. I always picked up on
single bit of english; I was one of those kids. Going to school for the first time was already hard enough and being in a place where I didn’t understand much of what anyone was saying was harder. I remember relying heavily on my ESL teacher. She played a very important role in my education and without her there wouldn’t really have been much of an education, honestly.

I 201 brought many important highlights about digital technologies to my life. Coming from a 1:1 Apple Distinguished high school, I had been exposed to a lot of technology in the classroom, which gave me an interesting start to CI 201. A highlight for me was creating the technology lesson plan. Doing this assignment was significant because as a future educator I will be making lesson plans daily, so it is extremely important that this is a skill that I continue to work on.

reading through the assigned material I felt like I had been educated to a higher level of understanding human learning concepts. The attributes presented focused on four key concepts: investigation, analytical thinking, effective communication, and collaboration (Bethel University, 2013).

Other expectations have fallen to the waist side and soon were forgotten. At the time, they seemed to be very real. I expected to study, study, and study some more. I wanted the program to be challenging and prepare me to be a nurse. I expected to struggle financially because of having to reduce my days off work. I thought this would give me extra study time and I would make
