Week 1 - Thoughts

This was a short week to absorb such a wealth of knowledge, but I managed to learn a few things. Technology has come a long way in a very short amount of time. The future possibilities and applications are endless. Ten years ago, no one could have imagined that we would have come as far as we have. And yet, here we are - surpassing any and all expectations where technology is concerned. Information and day-to-day dealings are instantaneous - news has become global, financial concerns have become global, and any fact to be researched can be found with a few keystrokes within a few seconds. What I do here in my little corner of the world can have a quick and direct effect on someone across the globe.

Technology has made us one world, interacting and reacting immediately to one another with as far a reach as can be imagined. We are no longer separate countries and cultures coexisting on this planet. Technology has intermingled us in such varied ways, that we really don't know where our personal life ends and another begins.

I can't wait to invent and discover all the different ways we can incorporate the endless forms of technology into our classrooms to help students reach their full academic potential!
