Technology- Friend, not Foe

I have been doing work for my ED5210 class for two whole weeks now and I have to say that I am not only very comfortable using different internet resources, but I am also excited to brainstorm ways I can use them while teaching. The funny thing is, I am getting more used to doing my classwork online and meeting with my group, but my class is over in less than one week! Isn’t it funny how those things work out? I love to be busy, and this course has definitely done that for me. The time I spend with my group and researching materials for our projects seems to fly by; I can literally get lost in time on the internet! But, I also think about all of the topics we have discussed and realize that it is not just the podcasts and the blogging and my wiki. I have really developed as a professional. I have asked myself what type of teacher I think I am going to become, and also what type of teacher I want to be. When I look back on these two weeks I can’t help but say, “Wow, you’ve come a long way, baby!”
