Where will technology go from here....

I enjoyed class Thursday night as we explored various digital tools.  Dr. Long was right when she stated that we were unlikely to explore these tools on our own.  I am glad she made me sit down and "play."  I think I could be a better teacher by learning to use some of these things.  RSS Feeds could be a way to stay up to date from the classroom.  My class subscribes to Scholastic News Magazines  and Highlights Magazines.  I am curious to see if these companies have RSS Feeds.  I will be adding this to my to do list to check into.  Back in undergrad I added educational internet sites to a bookmarking site like Diigo, but it was a different one.  I never continued to use the site after that semester.  I now see that I should have.  I think I could be better organized if I had kept it up.  There are several sites I want to search to help me in the classroom with my students.  It would be much easier to be able to locate these sites from any computer/place.  Animoto - HOW COOL!!  I loved it.  As I played with it in class I thought of using some pictures I had at home I would like to upload and put to music.  I hope to get to that this weekend.  I love to play with this more to learn how to use it to benefit my students.  I think this is something that could really catch their attention.
