Technology 1.0

What use are blogs? Why would I spend one hour of our precious collaboration time having you down load an app that enables blogs, articles, and videos to be housed on its site?

The reason is pure and simple. When you become familiar with the resources online, you open the world to your classroom. You can visit another classroom, see a lesson in action, learn how to implement a new skill or strategy, or read a viewpoint of a teacher across the ocean that is dealing with the same issues in his/or her classroom, as you are.

We are lifetime learners and we must work to keep our own learning alive. Don't fear technology-- embrace it! Don't avoid it-- use it! Once you get the basics down-- you might surprise yourself and actually enjoy your journey into the 21at century.
