Technology...Where Would We Be Without It?

Technology. I love it, but it doesn't always love me. Or at least that is the way I feel at times, but I know that I would be lost without it. It is a part of our lives that is here to stay, well, until it changes and advances again. It is what our kids are used to though. Even though it can be a little more challenging to some of us, we need to shift in that direction and provide our students what they need and want and what engages them. I think it may partially be a fear of the unknown. For example, I was dragging my feet with just creating this blog. In hindsight, I don't know what I was scare of; it wasn't as big of a deal as I thought it would be. I even thought, "Wow, that was easy." I know I need to continue to learn more about it and use more of the gadgets that are available. I think a big part of it is getting our feet wet and finding what is useful and user friendly for us. I also signed up for a Twitter account, but I feel I'm a Twitter dud...it isn't one of those items I find myself going back to. I know there is a lot that is offered from it, I just need to figure out how I want to use it and when. I think that is true for many of us.

I am very excited about the goals that have been set by each person in our school. We are moving in the right direction, one day at a time, a few steps at a time, and for some, by leaps and bounds! I encourage you to continue growing and learning with and about technology. I am your cheerleader!
