Well, I am enjoying the exploration of this course. I suppose that is what our students are doing. Don't we encourage our students to take risks? Well, they certainly do in the technology world so I suppose as educators, we should do the same. It was not as hard as I thought.
Hey Girlfriend! Can you believe that we're finally in cyberspace!!! It's amazing to think that it took my so long to get on and operating and my fourth graders could probably be on in a blink of an eye.
Fourth graders! Indeed! It's good to see you dive into the blogging process. Personally, I find it challenging, exciting, ambiguous, and filled with potential. I hope you will visit my blog at http://newliteraciesdiscussion.blogspot.com/
What is e-beam and prometheus? Do you use these things in your classroom?
