Technology in the classroom

I must say I do not feel adequate using technology in my future classroom. While student teaching in a fourth grade class, I incorporated internet activities into my lessons. However, these activities were more like watching a video about whatever lesson we were focusing on. I have enjoyed becoming more versed in what there is to do in a classroom concerning technology. I think Skype is amazing! I'm not sure how I would integrate that into my curriculum but I think it's a great tool - maybe in a spanish class students could contact other students in foreign countries and practice their language skills.
I really like the blog. I think this would be a great tool for students to use to publish their writing. Parents, students, and teachers could all have access to my students' writing. I think it's a great tool and hope to incorporate it in my classroom one day.
I look forward to learning more practical strategies and technologies to use in my room!

My First Blog

My first blog - a bit like riding a bike. I must admit, at first I was a bit intimidated but now I am looking forward to posting my thoughts.... if anyone cares to know them! So enjoy! Enjoy my first timid pedals on my brand new bike! Please don't laugh when I fall down, but help me up. I'm sure, soon enough, you won't be able to keep up with me!
