Well its been months since we started this journey in technology in education and I have to say I've learned a LOT! Despite growing up without any of this technology I've always felt fairly competent in my use of technology. What I didn't consider is what I didn't know. I now understand blogging -which although I knew the word had never considered actually blogging myself, now I think I'll do it as part of my instruction. The big tools for me will be Teacher Web pages, Wiki's and Podcasts as these tools are just to perfect for education not to use. The other tools I learned about will be incorporated as I experiment with being a teacher and reaching out to students. Strategically I've changed from considering technology as something to use to help in education to viewing technology as more of a partnership in education as the tools needed to teach in today's high tech world!
I'm glad to have helped in the journey!
