My expectations

I was ask what I exptected out of the Integrating Technology into Teaching Class. I was expecting the class to focus on things we could use in our high school classrooms that were more along the traditional lines. Things like PowerPoint presentations, use of the SmartBoard in the classroom, maybe using document scanners, and other things like that. Although that is not what we have focused on to this point, I am not disappointed. I am actually excited about the things we are doing. I would never have thought of myself setting up a blog. Really don't know what I am doing and hope that I am on the right track. My children, I have three at home and one out on her own, were shocked when I told them that I had set up a blog. They were even more suprised when they found out I had also set up a account on facebook. Those are just things that I had never thought about doing. I hear the young people at school talking about them but I never thought of doing one myself.
I am also looking forward to doing the other assignments. I have wanted to set up a web page for a long time. Started one for school last summer but never got it finished and attached to the school website. Now I have a reason to get it finished. I think I will be more comfortable with the aspects of the computer and the internet that I have not been exposed to before.
