Changing Education

I am amazed at how much students already know about technology, even at a young age.  My six year old daughter will say oh mom let me show you how to do that and I sit back and think wow.  The use of Jiing and blogging in the classroom will be wonderful resources.  Our world is changing and students need to be able to change with the times, it seems that they are adapting and the older a person is it is taking them much longer.  In our school we have alot of parental involvement and I can see where technology can play a part in not only helping the students keep up with happenings in the classroom but also the parents as the students get older keeping up with school happenings and homework assignments.  I plan on incorporating a lot more technology in my lessons this year. 

I'm learning...lol

I think I finally figured out how to delete that embarrassing post!!!  I can't believe I have almost completed a technology class.  I have one BIG discovery..."If I can struggle through this technology class, then my students can struggle through MATH class."  I have learned so much and I will keep this book as a reference.  I am going to use some new technology this year.  I have to decide what I am comfortable enough to try.  The screen cast was my favorite and I found it to be easiest to use. Any ideas that have worked for you?
