week 3

It's my 3rd week in my edtech adventure which is what I am calling my new online course journey. I am still trying to figure out how to find time for everything in my life and now taking an online class. It has been challenging but I am very excited. My learning curve is causing me the biggest wow because I didn't know what and how many technologies are used in education. What is the greatest excitement is trying to figure out to use it in my current work environment. We'll get see what I will come up with. I am just glad I did it and am hoping for the best.

The Learning Curve

It is very unfortunately when we as educators and parents do not stay on the learning curve of educational technology. I am very guilty of not putting both feet forward with technology. Like many people we worry or confuse the dangers verses the many unique possibilities that basic technology principles can offer. We tell ourselves we need a large technical budget to do creative things but only discover there forums and formats we can use that are not expensive at all.

Here I am to share my adventures in educational technology. The first step begins with throwing all previous knowledge and ignorance aside to not only understand what is out there but how I can use it to help myself, students and my children better utilize technology for positive educational experiences and yes fun.

Join me for my new adventures.
