I am so amazed at young people today, they are so entrenched in technology and don't even realize it. From texting, Facebooking, and blogging, oh my goodness. I hope to use some of these forms of communication to help my students learn more about the subjects I teach as well as themselves.
I can see how being anonymous is a good thing for the student, but I also see how this can be a bad thing. I hope to get more ideas on how to optimize the use of technology in the classroom. I have so much to learn...
Like everything else, we need to show them how to use it productively and responsibly. I think this is an overall goal of education in general.
