Post #2- Since I missed class on Tuesday, I'll take this opportunity to complete the phrase: When I think about teaching with technology, I am both excited and a little intimidated by the possibilities. In general, I am not a technology guru; I have not updated my very basic phone from 2007 and I don't text. My most memorable experience regarding teaching with technology occurred at the high-needs middle school where I taught for 2 years; we were lucky to possess 2 Smartboards, but unlucky in that they rarely were used, since no one was trained on how to use them, nor were training opportunities readily available. So, in an effort to prevent finding myself in a similar situation in the future, I am taking this class.

  1. You bring up an important point - it doesn't matter what technology is available, if no one knows how to use it. And I don't mean just how to press the buttons to make it work, but how to incorporate it to address learning goals.
