My Personal Learning Goals



When I was in middle school, my teachers asked me to write my study goals. At that time I just wrote to my teachers for homework but did not follow my goals. Since I studied in Education, I realized that how important to have some goals before I start studying. Every semester I will set some goals for my courses and try to achieve them at the end of the semester.  
Like many girls, I am not very interested in technology. Most of times, I just use my laptop to watch movies, play games and do my homework. In fact, I never use a lot of features of my computer. Such as how to make a video by using iMovie, how to make a attractive PowerPoint and how to use the different kinds of network resources to design my class. Although I am not a teacher now, I need to prepare myself for the future . And I also want to learn something about how to set my own website.
Before taking the class, I have a goal for this class - get an A for my final grade. Now, I still have this goal but the more important thing for me is to learn something that can really use in my life. I believe that the first step towards setting and achieving personal goals is that you must realize you have to prepare for the future and not wait for it to happen. I want to see myself progress step by step. As a start, I want to learn how to add music in iMovie. 
 I read some other classmates' Personal Learning Goals before writing. Some of them have worked at school so they know what they want to learn from this class and what can help them to make their classes better.  Since I am not a teacher yet, I do not have a lot of experiences. Now, the most important thing is that I need to enrich myself as much as possible.

  1. Very good blog entry. I'm a preservice teacher too, and I can identify with you for our lack of experience and professional knowledge. It's very good for you to determine to explore some technology -- though you really can make beautiful, impressive ppt. I believe no one can resist the engaging power of technology, and we can make a difference even for those who always feel "technophobia".
