Technology was not a Major part of my practicum. Unless you count PA's or VCR/DVD players. I did use those, and I was well versed in Overhead from my first practicum as well.
In a Kindergarten class most things are hands on, and we didn't have very much computer access at all. And in my first, the only computer I was in charge of was finding educational websites for my class for one block per week.
Good news though, I'm not completely hopeless. I did work for an engineering company doing both AutoCAD and MicroStation work, and data entry...where boredom almost took my life, but I did learn a lot about design, and worked with Excel, Visio, and Visual Basic as well. I'm not going to say that today I could sit down and use all of these programs perfectly, but I can say that I'm capable of learning technology.
Because I grew up in theatre and arts, I'm very skilled with microphone and instrumental set ups, and I can edit a movie with ease...using several programs. Unfortunately for me, I just bought my first digital camera and am not well versed on uploading pictures into various files and editing suites, but I'm sure that will come.
Anyway, long story short, I haven't done it in teaching yet, but I'm sure I would be just fine if given the chance to figure things out.
