The amount of information that is readily available to all is just astounding. The information that I have learned in this class, has been amazing. To be honest, I am not sure yet of my plan of attack for this coming school year. I have so many new ideas of ways that I can incorporate technology, I don't even know where to start! Choosing one new technology per unit is going to be my goal. So for each new unit of study, modify a previous assignment, or totally create something new to expose my students to as much technology as I can, and get their feedback on what they like and do not like. In the future I see podcasts, voki's, wiki's, flickr, blogs, the list is just endless.
Spreading the word on all of the amazing technology should not be too difficult. I know within my department at school we do a lot of sharing of ideas. We are constantly bouncing things off of each other, so hopefully others will get on board as well. I have seen a general shift over the past couple of years and I do think that educators are making an effort to keep up with our students ever changing technology needs!
The internet is a great resource and we must make an effort to utilize it to it's fullest potential.

Baby steps! Take your time. Do 1 thing with 1 class (your best class is my advice) and evaluate, revise, and try again with another class. Build on your successes. Slow and steady wins the race!
ReplyDeleteI am very excited about the 23 Things and hope to start using them in my classes as soon as school starts. I would like to continue blogging with you and sharing ideas especially about technology. I would like to incorporate more english lessons into my business curriculum and hopefully we can exchange ideas on how to exchange english and business lessons.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great plan of attack. Sounds like you have some colleagues that are willing to try new "things". Good luck with your venture and have a great year. Keep blogging!
