In my classroom, I often think I am high tech. I mean, I use a projector, show videos from YouTube, and even go into the computer lab once and a while for a virtual lab or website. The problem is that it is just usually me designing the lessons. Recently my eyes have been opened to the fact that most of what I think of as technology is simply becoming standard in the world of education, much like the blackboard, whiteboard, and vhs players of past generations. If I am really to teach with technology, and teach technology, that is relative to my students and improves learning, I am going to have to step out of my classroom (and school) ad into the digital world. This blog is an attempt to discover a larger community of educators who are fighting the same battle I am and who want to share, learn, and discover new ways of implementing technology along the way. It will begin with what I am doing and what ideas I have, and hopefully turn into a community of educators growing together. Climb aboard and buckle up!
