Thank goodnes for our very helpful STS

Granville Broomes is Awesome.
I hate that everything that is recommended to us to download for these classes has to be approved by our School Technology Specialist and put on our computers through the authority of an Administrator, but at least he is willing to do it.

So far, we have had to upload iTunes, podcast recorder, KOBO to share readings, Nearpod, Edunuity, and Screencastomatic. 

We are definitely getting a taste of what's out there in the current technology world, but just like the new aggregators there is just an amazing amount of information out there in the world wide web.  I can only image how it's going to continue to grow in depths.  What comes after the Information Age?   I mean when will or how will this era transition to the next age?  

Well, until that change we are charged with the task of learning and growing at the speed of "Next Generation Updates" which seem to be daily if not hourly.  So, good luck staying on top.   I was told when I first started teaching, that teaching is a lot like Surfing.  Every three years or so a new wave starts to come at you and your best bet is get ready, get into position, and work hard at catching that wave so you can ride it to its end.  Then you turn back to meet the next wave with the same effort.  That way you will have more fun. 

Some of these activities have been fun, so that's good with me. 

Thank you.
