S Lyon's Technology Blogs

Emerging Technology

Wow, the technology out there is amazing.  When I saw that we had the show and tell project, I had no idea how much I would learn.  This is why collaboration is so important.  I may not have found the technology and/or interesting websites that my class colleagues have found without hours of searching.  And the I may not have even thought to look for what was shared.  But now I have several potentially useful websites or information on technology I could use to increase student learning in my classroom.  How cool is that?

I will continue the collaboration tree and share the information with my colleagues at my school.

Keeping Up With Blogs is Hard :)

Wow, I don't know how people keep up with blogs.  It's not like reading and responding to emails, which I can easily get 10-15 of those a day at work.  With emails, they are usually a quick read and while you may go back and forth for a bit, it still doesn't seem to take  lot of time.

But blogging is so different.  While it is very interesting to read others opinions and being able to comment on them is cool, it is so time consuming.  It's like reading papers as if I am an English teacher :)  But as a math teacher, I don't like to read so much :)  I've even thought about keeping one with my students to discuss math concepts or issues they may have with math concepts, but I've shied away from it due to my fear of will I be able to keep up with it.

Am I alone in this?
