A New Language!

As I was working in my Theatre Arts class the other day something interesting occurred to me. My students are doing a collaborative project with the dance company. They were working together to find a way to make a puppet communicate and dance with a human dancer. It came to me that this was a new language for them just as assuredly as my French students struggle with learning French. Then I thought even further that my struggles with wiki's and blogs was also learning a new language but that we were all trying to do the same thing...communicate. The important thing is that part of the human spirit that struggles to share in whatever language something common, a desire, a longing, a wish, a hope. In a round-about way gave me hope in my technology class!
