What is the next techno gizmo you want to buy?

A problem with technology is that there are more and more gadgets coming out, that I just have to have. My next techno gizmo is the GPS. In particular, I'm eyeing the Garmin Nuvi 350.

What forms of computer technology do I use most frequently?

Just recently, I heard on the radio that the generation aged mid 30s and below are so hooked into technology that it's difficult for this generation to go anywhere for any length of time without this technology. For me, I have to say that connection to the Internet falls into this category. I already check my e-mails (all 3 e-mail accounts) multiple times a day, which is why it is frequently easier for you to successfully contact me via e-mail than via the phone. Furthermore, at MSU Mankato, voicemails automatically get rerouted to my MSU e-mail inbox. How's that for technology? Besides e-mail, I also often check various blogs and websites.

Welcome to ENG634 Topics in TESL (Computer Assisted Language Learning)

Welcome class! Before we begin, I guess I should share a little about my journey in the field of Computer Assisted Language Learning. I still remember vividly my first experience with the Internet. I was with a good friend of mine at the British Council Library in my home city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It must have been in the early 90s, and I had heard of the Internet but never used it. Lily sat me down at the computer at the library and showed me the Yahoo homepage, and how to use the search engine! Then came the undergrad years with DOS and the switching in and out of floppy drives! When I did my MA in TESL, I pursued a specialization in Computer Assisted Language Learning. That was my first experience of Macs and I know I wanted to hurl one out the window! It was a steep learning curve but I made it! After that, during my PhD, I pursued a Certificate in Multimedia Design and Development, and I have to say, I have not gotten bored yet with the field!
