A New World

After listening to the podcast from Kevin I must say that I am feeling a bit guilty about holding my students back with my own ignorance and fear of technology. Challenge to create an assignment for my kids has left me both enthused and lacking. I know that our opportunities are endless but I am afraid that I am too narrow minded to really embrace the choices that are available for my students. I can envision us (due to the level that I teach) having the opportunity to actually correspond with students abroad. This would allow my kids the opportunity to engage in conversations at their level and at the same time have the opportunity to have a culture awareness session that I simply wouldn't have in the classroom. The challenge is to find an opportunity when we can have access to the computers. When I hear about the lap top schools I must admit that I am envious. We rarely have the opportunity for computer time due to limited access.
