So many cool things I didn't know, but now I know :)

So far in the ICT course I am enjoying learning about the new things, like how to create a website, symbaloo, wiki's, blogs, and how we can implement these technologies into the classroom. Before this course I honestly was not aware of how much technology is actually used in classrooms today. When I was in schoo, smartboards were just coming out I think, and now it's like some parents are actually buying them for their home! I am also learning more about the ipads and gadgets similar to those, and how they can be used in classrooms. By allowing students to use them, it opens more doors for learning in new ways, heck I wish I could have skyped with others over seas, one time in grade 8 we send a teddy bear over that way with letters, and it never came back. Things change so fast, with myself, the last music device I owned was a discman...I got so behind with things! Then I got a blackberry pearl which I kept for 3 years, now I am a new owner to the iPhone5 smart phone and I love it. I still think it is capable of doing more then what I actually know what to do with it, but eventually I will take the time to figure it out, just too busy right now. Another thing with technology, I have owned one laptop in my life, had it since 2007, it does it's job, probably loaded with viruses but whatever, I am scared to go out and buy a new one now because I might now know how to navigate through it! I would like to get into a macbook, but then I would have to learn the apple software, hmm. For the project that is due, myself and two other classmates are focusing on Technology in Physical Education and how to implement it into Physical Education, I'm looking forward to this project because it will educate myself more on how to use in in the phys ed environment. Oh and this week I also fell in love with Jing, and I hate how fast technology changes. I wish I could see the plans for everything. We see movies now and they have screens in the air or something, I wonder if that will ever happen. I don't know much about technology but that would be cool if it could. Sometimes I feel a little overwhelemed with it all. #technologyproblems!

  1. I'm almost overwhelmed reading your post - lots of stuff in that post. Yes tech changes fast - we need to be aware, but we also can't know it all. Be on the lookout for new things - connect with others - and find what works for you.
