Thing 1 and Thing 2

I had many thought as I read the article and watched the video. Many of them were conflicting. I am excited to learn more about technology and feel I can come up with some very practical applications for students, but I feel constrained by the time that I have available to create these opportunities. When I think ahead to next year, I wonder about the computer lab. Will the things I want to do be easy or difficult to apply there? I'd love to harness the power of technology but don't want to be overwhelmed by it.

I am aware (and sometimes envious) of how kids multitask in a technology driven world. I hope however, that they still will learn to enjoy the intimate experience a good book and a face to face conversation can provide.

I appreciated the practical applications and prompts that were provided at the end of the Blogging article. Some things I would like to further explore are the use of student surveys, the book discussion blogging idea, pod-casting student work, and the use of persuasion to advocate for health. I hope you provide more details about these things in a different session and am looking forward to what you have in store for us.
