On to thing #2......
Here I am showing my incompetence! I "stretched" activity #2 and wrote my thoughts in writeboard, but now I cannot get it to go here. Instead of trying to figure it out again, I am just going to retype it. I have tried copying and pasting and exporting and have been unsuccessful. I even tried to copy and paste to a word document which worked well, but then I still could not paste to this section. It keeps putting it below here. So here are my thoughts as I watched and read the info for #2.
How will technology change my world, your world, my family's world, my student's world? Are pen and paper tasks really what students are doing these days by choice? In a world of students who have grown up in a video, t.v., and video game world, do they learn best by a teacher's lecture? Let's find ways to give them the freedom to learn in the ways that they learn best. I am not a t.v. show, and they need something more exciting than me. Let's do great things!
I want Kimbrough to become like the middle school in the David Warlick article, "A Day in the Life of Web 2.0." I want to blog. I want the kids to be able to access assignments on their computers. (More practically, I want to find a way to engage my blind student and my 3 Arabic language learners.) Would it not be great to get even more use out of my ipod? Would it be wonderful if student could be really excited about learning the way they want to learn, in ways they are already using for entertainment! Let's get started! Yeah, I am blogging!
I do not know what I am doing!

Yay for you! You are blogging!
I'm not sure what happened with the writeboard -- I don't see that info anywhere, but maybe i'm just missing it. Not sure what happened there. You should have been able to copy your text from the writeboard and paste it into the blog post.
As for the naming of your posts, you can be as creative as you want, as long as you continue to have Thing #whatever in the title somewhere.
Keep going - you're doing great!
You are blogging! You're off to a great start! Can't wait to read more!
It's funny that the relationship we have with technology is so love/hate. When things go haywire I want to take my computer and toss it out of the window. However, I remind myself that the good far outweighs the bad. Hang in there!
Wow!! I thought I was alone in the world of "technologically stunted". Its great to know I'm not the only person, taking this class, that is feeling lost in the past. Slowly, but surely, I intend to move forward and find a way to include technology in a classroom even I find a bit boring at times. Imagine being the one that leads the already technically savvy kids to greater exploration. I really enjoyed the sharing you posted in this blog.
