Well, I am learning lots of new things about technology-Thank you Jamie! But what I am finding is I, like others, have limited time for all of this. I seem to find a way to do what I need with technonolgy when I need to use it. For example, when I need to find out more about a topic I now have three places I can go to help me; diigo.com, delicious, and I can always go back to google as needed. I am following wonderful people on twitter, have found teacher blogs and websites that are amazing. It is so cool to look at things people are doing from around the country. I thought voicethread was very cool and shared the idea with my students. At first I had over forty kids who wanted to try it, but when it really came down to designing and working on a project I have two boys who are very excited to work on a mineral project. Their excitment is wonderful! I feel like WC is opening my eyes to what is out there and increasing the ways that I can enhance my teaching through the use of technology. I am not sure I will ever be someone who goes on all of these sites daily or does updated posts on a regular basis, but it has become a resource to find what I need when I need it. I hope someday I might move to a point where I have something of interest for other educators to get ideas from or to share materials with. But for right now I am okay with using my time to get what I need and with increasing by knowledge base.
