Book

Well I have finished reading the book, that in its self is quite amazing for me. I will admit that there was a lot of great info in the book, the only problem is when do I find time to use it, let alone figure out how to use it. My question why doesn't administration take the time to have someone who nows how to use this technology sit down with all content area's and show them what they can do with it to make their content area stronger? Instead they have us all go to meeting on technology all at the same time and overwhelm us with all the great things we can do with technology. I know a lot of teacher who love all the technology it just they don't know how to use it because they give us so much at one time with out a lot of training. I will admit I do like to learn on my own but I also would like some one who nows my content are to show me things I could be doing with this technology.

Technology what a wonderful thing that is if it works properly. Today I went to show my students some safety videos off of YOU Tube. Well guess what I had no sound in my room luckily for me their was an empty room I could use to show the videos to the students. But if that room would not have been available I really do not know what I would have done because I made no other plans in case this happen. Some time I think all this technology makes my job harder rather than easier, because you almost have to plan for things like this so it makes for two times the work. So is technology a good thing or bad thing? I personal think that it is a good thing. What do you think?

On Friday September 18 2009 I started a journey to get my Masters Degree in Educational Technology through Central Michigan University. This will be a long journey with lots of hard work especially for me because I truly hate to write. This is probably why I hate to text so much, for how long it takes me to text I could have called 5 different people and gotten all their answers by the time I text one person. So by doing a blog and talking on line I am way outside of my comfort zone but it will be worth it in the end. I hope to meet many new people and get some great ideas on how to use technology to help reach the hard to get students as well as those students that are all ready in the playing field. So may the journey began.
