New Is Old

It occurred to me the other night when I was working in class that what we are working on will all be replaced in a few years with something new. I also thought that all the trouble I'm having just getting a grasp on how all this works is really old news that I should already be familiar with. So it could fairly be said that perhaps one is always behind the times as far as technology goes. Because as soon as you learn it, the innovation has pass you by!

I enjoyed the diagram exercise we worked on. Supposedly it was a "limited" program. Perhaps for someone with limited ability and experience it was perfect assignment. I know that I can use that to help my students follow a lesson. I just like how obvious the applications were for me. When I get my new computer this summer I want to be sure and add Inspiration to my programs.

I was at a teachers conference the other day where I led a workshop on using drama in the classroom. The workshop after me was on using technology in the classroom. As I listened to that workshop I actually understood far more than I would have befor ethis class. Sooooo... something is obviously working.

Took the mid-term last night and felt like an idiot. But I made a 43/50 which apparently was better than those around me I asked about their grade.

And above all I don't feel as much fear in the class as I did before so. That is progress as well...right...don't you think so...

I'm tyring to convince myself...of something.
