Thing #2 Reflection
I like reading about the examples of educators using web 2.0. I am encouraged by the fact that I have teachers on my staff who really work to integrate our available technology in the classroom. Teachers are utilizing podcasts for reinforcing science vocabulary and giving students a visual representation to go along with mental imagery. Teachers are using websites for interactive stories. I see a higher level of student focus when I go into classrooms using technology, but I realize we are far from where we need to be with student created/shared materials that utilize technology. The more experience and knowledge I gain in regards to technology, the more I can confidently encourage its use in the classroom.

I agree students and teachers are not utilizing technology in the classroom. Some questions of access for all students both inside the classroom and at home arise. How can we as educators eliminate or make it more manageable is a concern? But we can not forgo the use of technology simply because not all students are ready or have access. The challenge is to do what we can and build a broader base for the future.
