Reflection #7

For my special needs class we had an option to help work a special olympic event. I went as a volunteer to help with the cross country skiing event. Technology was used in many instances for this event. I was a timer, so my main technology that I used was a stopwatch. This was a very important job since you were the ones reporting the time. I found it interesting also that the Olympian's main interest during the whole event was the music playing through the speakers. They loved to dance and cheer on the participants. The music was an essential part for the participants to have fun. I could not imagine what the event would have been like without the music. It brought the athletes to life. Crazy that such a small technology could bring so much joy. Technology is used in so many events today. Technology enhances so many situations and brings joy to many people.
