Post #2

This week I read Chapter Three and learned about Application Software. One thing that I learned about application software is that there are five categories. These categories are School, Home/Personal, Graphic Design/Multimedia, Communications, and Productivity Business. Software applications are all about creating, editing, and formatting.
After reading Chapter Three, I understood more in depth how technology has to do with my career. I realized this when I found out that school is a part of application software. It has to deal with grade books, note taking, and special needs.
It is still kind of confusing so far because I only understand the basics of using the computer. Hopefully, I can come to understand more unique tasks that will make my job easier.

I agree with you about realizing how useful computers will be for our job. Computers used to not be as necessary in the classroom but as quickly as technology is expanding its important for us to know how to use it and share it with our students.
