Tonight was the first meeting of Internet in the Classroom. I am honestly very excited about this class. I am looking forward to finding some great, PRACTICAL ways to implement the new Web 2.0 technologies in my classroom. I have always considered myself a tech savvy person. I easily pick up on new things, and find it pretty easy to use myself. Reflecting a bit, however, I find that I am not doing nearly enough to implement it in my classroom, and don't think I am the tech wizard I once thought I was. I hope to regain some of that swagger from this course. My main issue at this point is finding ways to adapt these new technologies to my primary classroom. I just need help!!

You and I are on the same wave length! I too think of myself as technologically savvy, but I became aware of so much more in the first class. I hope to be able to utilize the new information we are learning in my 3rd grade class as well. If nothing else, I will become much more proficient in Web 2.0 and navigating through it! Can you imagine if we go back to B.C. and do this? We will be the envy of all the teachers! :)
I totally agree with you that this class is going to be exciting and definitely appicable! I am kind of glad that we are taking this class right now as the school year is winding down. I feel that I will have time this summer to "play" around with some of the new tools and resources I am going to learn and hopefully be able to implement some of them next school year. You are right - it is so much more difficult to modify these technologies into your primary classroom. I guess it's just a matter of practice and doing some good research. Good luck!
