I can't say that writing html code is my favorite thing nor anything that I would want to pursue a career in. However, I am doing my best to keep an open mind and give it a good try. I'm sure I'll find something relevant to my teaching situation. As we worked at the computers, I was amazed at how quickly my html training came back.
As we went through the history and evolution of the web this week, I was truly amazed at how quickly we have progressed as a technological society. I remember the Apple IIe's in my second grade classroom and thinking that they were the coolest things ever. I also remember the Macs with mice and colored (oooh!) screens in my fourth grade classroom and thinking this was it. What more could we ever need! My, times have changed! Having recently had the experience of being with no computer access from a Thursday through a Monday at work, I came to realize how truly dependent we have become on these devices. No e-mail, no IEP access, no SMARTBoard, no Microsoft Word. We were truly lost as a staff, as were the students who have known it no other way.
This will truly be a learning experience for me!
