Technology is not as bad as it seems
ReplyDeleteI'm ready and willing, but already confused!
ReplyDeleteI hope I can learn to use all of this by August...and that I don't forget everything I have learned by August!
ReplyDeleteEnjoying class and learning a lot! very overwhelmed!
ReplyDeleteBecause I am afraid of being left behind!!!
ReplyDeleteTechnology means change and change is difficult because we don't know what is to come.
ReplyDeleteI can envision so many applications in the classroom for what we have already learned! This is fun!
ReplyDeleteSome people are afraid of making a mistake and messing up.
ReplyDeleteHey, I am really learning a LOT. I hope I can transfer this knowledge to the classroom! That's my goal. See you all tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laptops and I-pods! I'm really looking forward to the rest of the workshop.
ReplyDeleteI'm now excited because I have the best iPod in my family. I'm ready to learn how to use it for more than entertainment.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great day! My brain is on Tech. overload!! :]
ReplyDeleteTechnology is always changing and seems alittle intimitating...but very exciting as we learn!!
ReplyDeleteMany people are afraid of new technology because of their age. The older they are the less willing they are to try new things - especially new things they don't really understand.
ReplyDeleteYes, technology is scarey--especially to those of us who do not use thumbs only on cell phones. But, I am excited about what these guys think I am capable of!
ReplyDeleteHey.. I made it this far, but don't asked me how I got here.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a great day! Ready to learn more about Technology!! Thanks for everything!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely afraid of technology, but I am learning and getting better. It is important to me to improve my knowledge of technology. I will definitely challenge myself to do my best. Today was great, and I learned a lot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to start the week and our workshop! I am so excited to learn new "stuff".
ReplyDeleteI am definitely technology challenged and must have fat fingers--I am having punching the right keys on my ipod. But I actually got both my new computer and my ipod on my home network without my husband's help. I think I will get there. Thanks for the opportunity to try!
ReplyDeleteGreat day! I am very excited about what is to come this week. I am thankful for the Mathese workshops as they are helping me to overcome my fears of integrating technology into my classroom. Last years class was great, I didn't think you could top it, but was I wrong. This years class is going to be great! Thank you for all the incentives to help us continue in learning in this technological era!!
ReplyDeleteI think the fear of technology is so prevalent because the learning curve is high and just when you think you have things figured out the game changes to something new again. Thanks for the laptop and the i-pod. I am very excited to have someone guide me through this ever changing mysterious world known as the internet.
