What MTT means to me

When I began my journey in the masters program at SMU, I honestly had no idea what to expect. I attended SMU for my undergraduate degree, and was very familiar with the education program, but was not so sure what getting my Masters in Education would entail. When I sat down with my advisor to plan out my courses, I knew that I was very interested in gifted and talented education, but was at a loss for what other content area I would really want to focus in. She suggested technology because the demand for technology-proficient educators is growing so rapidly, so I agreed and jumped right in.

I had always considered myself to be fairly proficient in technolgy, but I have learned a lot throughout the program. Not only have I increased my own knowledge about ways to use softwares that I already knew about, but I have also learned that there is a lot of technology for education out there that I never knew existed.

My favorite class was the multimedia class. Despite some computer problems that prevented my from being able to do everything the best way possible, I really enjoyed learning about the various forms of multimedia and how I can use them in my classroom.

Overall, I have found the MTT program to be very beneficial. I have learned a lot already, and yet I know that I still have a lot to learn in the future. Technology is a very important part of today's education and I am happy to have vhosen to be a part of the progress.
