Q6: Describe how you think a college professor would prefer to generate and present lessons to 19-year-old college freshmen.

i think it depends on the age of the professor and the subject they are teaching rather than age of their audience in most cases. professors, like anyone else, go with what they are comfortable with.  a younger professor may teach using alot of computer technology because that is what they were taught with, whereas an older professor may prefer the paper&pencil method b/c that is what they have always used and it has "worked in the past". however a professor who teaches computer technology may be more open to using the same technology in their lessons regardless of their age.

Q7: Can you give an example of when a technology boundary negatively affected your success on a project for work or school?

I continue to have challenges with webct presentation sites. Although I have no training in creating these sites, I have been able to master the basic presentation site, but this semester I wanted to venture to the next level of the presentation sites. I tried to create my site in another format & had some difficulty with the links. because I could not figure out how to solve the problems and the professor could not access my work, I switched back to the basic format. the boundry created by my lack of experience with this type of technolgy affected my ability to deliver my work. additionally, I feel I have taken a step back in my technolgy education by going back & relying on what I already knew how to do.
