So it is week three and I haven’t managed to post anything for my tech education course. I have spent hours looking at the word press platform, I have typed in a post here and there only to erase it again and turn off my computer.  I feel frozen and incompetent and I can’t understand my own reluctance at just getting on with things.  I’m not a procrastinator and I usually feel pretty confident in my ability to learn what I need to learn and do what I need to do, but in this case, I am stalling out because of…….what?  I’m not sure, I can’t pin point it.  This is my first foray into social media.  I have never had a facebook or a twitter account.  I have never dabbled with snap chat or Instagram or even used a filter on a photograph.  My interests just don’t generally lie with technology or with screens in general and as a result I have absolutely no know how.  BUT, I want to be a teacher and having no idea how to navigate technology  as simple as a blog post is not acceptable.  How can I expect my students to push past their own insecurities and try something new if I’m not able to take the same leap?  I am going to remember how this feels though.  I’m going to remember how this feels so I can be sensitive to students of mine who might be feeling similar feelings of incompetence, who might be too ashamed to ask for help and so might just decide to drop the whole thing. I’m not going to drop the ball on this though, I’m going to give it my best shot and that means I just have to post something already…… so here goes.
