Boy! these weeks go by quickly. Meeting in Marratech last week was interesting but I do feel a week behind now for some reason. I think I need to work harder on relying on cyber meeting. I'm just not comfortable yet with emailing and quicktopics and google docs etc to communicate. I'm so used to face to face collaboration that it has been difficult to get used to other methods. I had a really hard time with my mini saga and wanted someone next to me showing me how to do it. Emailing tech mentors is helpful but I feel lie I need something more immediate. Maybe I'm just not "working the system" correctly. Any suggestions?
Other than that things are going swimmingly. I downloaded Skype and emailed a friend in London to do likewise. I'm going to try it out as soon as he let's me now he's on. Can't wait. I've also been exploring a lot of digital storytelling sites. i'd really like to do this with my students but I'm having a hard time getting it off the ground. Looking for a site that starts with the simplest steps. the search continues.
I took a weekend crash course on SmartBoard. It was great but it's one more thing to explore. All these technologies are so complex (maybe not the right word) that I could spend all my time on any one. Sometimes I feel like I'm just skimming the surface on them and it's not enough. Not satisfying. I need to learn to be content with skimming and returning when i need them. I guess that's the time to go into depth. It's hard though. It's not my usual learning style.
Oh well. I did one of those "25 Things" lists that's been making the rounds on Facebook. One of mine was "I've learned that change is a good thing". Maybe using the past tense was not quite accurate.
