OPEN MIC
I feel I'm being stretched in my professional and personal development. I'm blogging. I will start on the interactive sessions tomorrow 9/14. It is a challenge, even though I'm 29 and holding( Hint: I've been married 32 years)and have not used facebook yet! I'm not that comfortable with new technology as a rule. However, I'm happy that these items are a part of this class. I'm more aware of the what the students are using and I'm not as afraid of technology as I have been in the past. I have a new Promethean board, the software hasn't been loaded, but I feel using the whiteboard with "Elluminate Live" will help me when the software is loaded. I'm excited!!!
I can relate about being stretched in many directions professionally and personally. We are around the same age, 29 and holding. I have found time and repetition definitely help with learning technology. You will love your new Promethean board once you master it. I use mine all the time now. But I had to tackle the fear first. Life seems to be one big juggling act. Best of luck to you in learning how to balance it all.
