Thing 23

Is it the end or just the beginning? Finally, I can say I am completing THING 23. I have learned so much about the internet that I didn't know before as well as learned how to utilize some really cool tools that I had used on a personal level but had never considered using in my classroom. Using technology is very important in the classroom. As I finish thing 23, I hear my teenager in the basement using You Tube to view skateboarding videos. As teachers why can't we encourage these techie kids to use their technology tools to create their own Podcasts, videos, and presentations. In addition, as eductors, why don't we share more of our teaching expertise through these same tools? Is it time? Money? What holds us back? As I embark on this technology journey, my hopes are to continue this Blog and add more educational technology information. I hope my collegues do to!!! Good luck! Send me your cool links! Lora
