Starting anew...

Well, this is a second start, since I am now in a second course that focuses on using technology in the classroom. This time, it is Internet for Educators, which will be focusing on all the ways that teachers can positively use the internet in their classroom, beyond just sending an e-mail.

Just to introduce myself once again, I am a university student, in the final year of my education degree, who is not super competent with computers.
We are starting off simple, getting back into blogging and getting on Twitter. I have decided in all my wisdom to also start a personal blog, just to discuss things that I find interesting or fun, like DIY, writing, books and more, as things come up. That blog can be found at daytwo2day.blogspot.com, so if you are interested you can read that one too.

I am looking forward to learning more about things like on-line courses, connecting with educators around the world, and reading what my peers believe about technology in the classroom. I can't wait to start creative and innovative projects, that will likely become a part of my classroom. I am also a little scared of what I will do, and most likely mess up, but isn't that the point of school, to learn?

Overall, I am just really excited to keep learning about technology, and expanding my abilities as a teacher. I feel that technology is a crucial part of our world, as it is all around us, in every part of our lives, so if we ignore it we will be lost. And this class is my effort to at least find a map.
