Web 2.0

I have to admit, I was totally unaware as to the amount of technology that is readily available to society as a whole and classroom teachers, specifically. This assignment made me get out there and research things that could be of true use in my future classroom.

Honestly speaking, it kind of scares and energizes me at the same time. I'm not technically inclined at all so learning and implementing some of this new and foreign stuff is pretty intimidating to me. But I definitely see that that fact about myself needs to change. For that matter it needs to change now!

I know I will be dealing with students who are far more comfortable with today's technology than I am. I find comfort and dissatisfaction with that truth so I'm working on my skills. This assignment let me know that there are a lot of cool things out there waiting to be accessed. The only thing is, I have to put in the time and effort needed to actually do that.
