Hi everyone!

I never thought of myself as someone who is good with technology. But here when I looked at my daily routine, I think I might be a little techie after all!

My day starts early when my 8-year-old daughter wakes me up (even before my alarm). While she gets ready, I quickly check my phone for emails, class/work notifications, or anything important. So, even before breakfast, I’m already using technology.

After that, I sit with a cup of tea and start my study time. I check my class notes, watch recorded lectures, and sometimes use YouTube to understand topics better. I also use Canva to make posters or slides for my assignments—it’s fun and easy. For writing and group work, I often use Google Docs and Zoom.

Recently, I started reading an interesting book which is Foundations of Educational Technology by Dr. Penny Thompson. It helped me realize that educational technology isn’t just about tools or apps. It’s really about how we use these tools to improve learning and teaching. That idea really connected with me.

I also connect with my classmates through WhatsApp. We share ideas, ask questions, and help each other. Even though we are not in the same place, it still feels like we are learning together.

And while doing all this, I’m also a mom. I help my daughter with her schoolwork, answer her endless questions, and prepare snacks in between. Life is busy, but I enjoy learning and growing each day.

So yes… I guess I am an everyday techie—not because I know everything, but because I use technology every day to learn, teach, and connect.
