After reading this book and getting to the final chapter I took a deep sigh when I finished. It was a happy sigh of relief but also a little overwhelming sigh of relief- What now? I have now learned about some great resources and tools that I can bring back to my classroom but I honestly not sure where to start!
As the author states"we are still at the beginning of a radically different relationship with the Internet,one that has long standing implications for educators and students." We are going to be in a "flood" of even better technology, tools and more innovative teaching techniques as our world continues. Everything is faster and better and people's live styles are also changing-
I do feel like I will bring some of these web tools back to my classroom especially the Wiki and possibly some screen casting and podcasting. As overwhelmed and confused as I felt, I am happy I participated and took part in this class.
Congrats on finishing the book! It is a lot of info to digest, that's for sure! But, keeping current is all part of being a great teacher! We can do it!!!
