Thing #2 Web 2.0

It is amazing how technology has changed over the years and keeps getting much better.  The main thing that puzzles me is being out of the classroom setting would be difficult for me to go back to because I am not up to date with technology as much as I would like to be.  Sometimes I hear about the different types such as : promethean boards, elmo and I don't have a clue what they are talking about.  Actually, I did learn because I wanted to know, but not sure if I could teach with these tools.  I guess I would have a lot of learning to do.  It seems as though so many kids could teach the teachers or their parents when it involves any type of technology.  I do love the wikis and blogs and could be used for any subject for the students and parents to help with communication from school.  I am already learning so much and can't imagine how it would have been if I had these tools when I was a young student.  Technology is Amazing!

Thing #1

First of all, I have created this blog so in my eyes I have learned something new. It has kind of made me excited that I have learned a new way of technology. I have also put these assignments off because I have been so busy and the main reason I guess because I was afraid I would be a failure. I believe with technology you must play and not be scared to press buttons. I guess maybe if I can handle email, internet and cell phones I should be able to finish and learn 23 things.  I believe the most challenging thing for me will be to keep working on 23 things and don't procrastinate.  The easiest habit for me to be a lifelong learner is to have fun and play around. Don't be scared of Technology!  The most important habit for me is to set goals and accomplish these goals without getting frustrated.  I love to Learn as I get Older.
