2+ weeks of teaching ed tech

This week the students had to do a 1-Powerpoint slide summary of an article. The assignments aren't all turned in yet, but I was amazed and pleased by what I saw had been turned in. The students are coming along on their blog posts; they appear to be getting familar with the applications we're using and with why we're using them.

There has been some consternation about the use of tech in schools... and then the article about technology in an early childhood class opened some eyes. I know that my 6 year old grandson navigates through my iPhone with ease to find the light saber and my 10 year old granddaughter will soon purchase an IPod Touch. It's a digital world for them. Their ease and expertise with technology continues to amaze me.
