The biggest thing we've spoken about in class so far, is the simple fact that technology in the classroom no longer just means one dusty computer in the corner and an aging VCR. Today, technology in the classroom means doing assignments that utilize the educational aspects of the internet, making digital presentations (a variation on the good ol' public speaking task), and keeping up with the daily happenings on a class website.
It is both exciting for me, and a bit overwhelming, to think of the possibilities in the classroom- as a teacher. I enjoy doing things with the computer, video, etc. but to think that you as a teacher would not only spend so many hours a day teaching and preparing to teach, but to also update a website or blog- it just seems like there aren't enough hours in the day! (A common complaint?)
