Technology in the classroom

Today I began week 2 of my on-line course.  The assignment was to create a blog.  I as I have done.  Blogging is not new to me, but implementing it into the classroom is absolutely new.  Teaching has changed so much sense 2004.  When I last left my classroom we used very little technology other than search engines and email.  Wow has time changed in 7 years.  It's really quite amazing if you think about it.  I look forward to this new direction and can't wait to use what I have already learned in the classroom.  What a wonderful way to communicate with parents and students outside of the classroom.
