I feel that my school did a pretty good job of teaching me the basics of technology. I took a keyboarding in class in middle school to learn how to type and use basic programs like PowerPoint and word. Then in high school, I got to learn to use some basic video editing software in a journalism class. Through classes as I began to writer more complex and different papers I picked up some more skills in Word and PowerPoint and others that I had not gotten a chance to work with like Publisher.

I do wish that we had learned to use more academic technology. Zotero is the first thing that comes to mind. Knowing how to use that in high school would have made my life a lot easier as it has helped me greatly in college. Excel is something else that I did not learn how to use in high school that is very much a part of my life now and I would have liked to at least have a basic knowledge of how to use it so that I would not have fumbled as much with it. Overall, I feel that my high school did a pretty good job exposing us to technology, I think that could just add in a few more things.
