I survived my first two weeks in the SMAC program @ UofM. Hoooorrraaayyy!
I hope I will have the opportunity to incorporate many different types of technology in the classroom. I am weary of this. I believe technology puts the world into the hands of students, but there is not enough money in many of the school systems to figuratively "put the world into their hands." Google Earth, for example, is a perfect tool to use in social studies classrooms.
I am hoping to learn through this class how to teach in a technologically sufficient society without having the necessary tools to do so. I just know I want to be the best teacher I can be and I believe technology is a necessary and integral part of my ability to do so.
