Chapter One

     Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms, yawn! I'm tired and this chapter is not keeping me awake. Keri said it would be dry but not only is it dry but somewhat boring. But I do understand why the author has started with this. People like me need to know how, where, when and why all this got started. Hard to believe less than 20 years ago...in my younger days....none of this was happening! And now it is all happening and I still don't know about it. I guess I was the generation to be semi lost in the world of technology. The chapter made me feel old and said that teachers...especially my generations...aren't keeping up with the newest technology and kids are learning it faster...but from whom. I think this generation was born with a technology gene.

Hoping for fireworks in chapter 2!

     I'm actually very excited to learn about blogging mainly because technology intrigues me and I hate not knowing how to use it. Hence I've read chapter one and I'm ready to go on to chapter two and further educate myself into the world of blogs, wikis,podcast and whatever else Keri can teach me. I know there will be fireworks before we are done....in fact toady's class was filled with what I would call exciting firework gadgets. See fireworks below....awesome British fireworks.
