Thing 1 and Thing 2

Reading about the article Web 2.o, I feel really outdated about my teaching and technology skills and a bit overwhelmed. It's funny to imagine I am feeling insecure about not using more technology in my math class when my dad doesn't use a computer at work and still doesn't really know how to use one...but that will be changing soon too. What matters is that I am here learning. I'm participating so I can be a better teacher, motivate my students to learn and connect with them on a different level. As the video indicated, students are using so much technology each day anyway, it's time for me to use more of it in my classroom.

So, I'm glad to be "stepping" in the right direction and hope to be eventually be "running." I can say I have a blog page-it was easy to set up.

I'm beginning to think about how there are so many places that I could be checking each day for posts, e-mail (professional and personal),Study Island, etc. This doesn't include my own searching and reading. All these things take time! Right off the bat I think, "How do I manage all this and not be tied to my computer?"
