I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it!
I know. I know. Enough with the Pointer Sisters. But let me at least tell you why I'm so excited.
It's this class! From the Pageflakes assignment to this blog assignment, I'm experimenting with fun ways to bring technology to and use technology in the classroom. The resources available to teachers on the Internet is seemingly endless. (Though you do have to exercise discretion and web savvy when looking for resources, or risk accidentally including some less-than-appropriate content into your materials.) I've really enjoyed scoping out blogs by other teachers, surfing Teacher Tube, and learning how I can create a web portal designed specifically to fit my students' needs. I've played with Toonlet in order to present a "fun" look at semicolons in my newsletter. I've found lesson plan resources from highly credible sources. All in all, this learning experience has been a blast. And, it's one in which the real-world application is obvious. Maybe that's the most exciting prospect of all.
Cheers (to technology),
Beth
