Back To School

I've just come back from the Holy Land, lamb and chicken curry falafels. To be honest, I might just make it through this "Information Literacy," thing. I'm looking forward to learning about new things, techno jazz and what not. However, what I'm really looking forward to is figuring out how to connect the technology I enjoy into my classroom and how to access my students through the technology that they use in their everyday life.
I am closer in age to my students than to most of my coworkers, however, the technological gap is still greater between my students and I than staff members. It's assumed that I should understand more of this stuff, but I used a typewriter until the second semester of my junior year at the U. In fact, my computer at home is set to make the noises associated with a typewriter (ding).
Shortly we will all be connected to the feed and accessing online information will only be a thought away. Until then, I'm going to stick with the classes and keep asking questions. I love teaching, but going back to school as always a unique experience.
Seacrest out,
