What I what to learn in 486

This class is frightening to me because have such a large deficit in the area of technology.I have waited to the last possible semester to enroll in this course because of my fear. In my high school we had two computers for the entire school! Basic calculators were just available to the public at about $100 a pop. When I started college in 1976 we still typed our papers on typewriters. Technology is not a natural instinct for me. I want to be updated into this century with this course. That maybe asking
too much of one course, but it at least is a start. I want to be able to use technology in my classroom such as using an active board, have a class website where students and parents can get current class information, be able to enter information on the parent portal, keep records, enhance my lessons with supplements from the web, and be able to use many things I am not even aware of yet. I want to be able to surf on the computer and not be stumped. I feel my age and life experiences are an asset for an entering teacher except for this one area. Hopefully after this course I will not always embarrass myself in the area of computer use.
