The end is the end....

  Blogs, glogs, smart lessons, and you tube channels.  I conquered them all Dave style, well for now any way, I say that because this technology business changes daily.  Therefore, the most important thing I learned was that I must change daily.  Fortunately, we have a wonderful mind that allows us to understand this premise.  The key really is to keep in touch with technology or you may find yourself going from digital native to digital immigrant.  How can I not incorporate technology in my classroom?  It is the current method of getting through to learners today.  I can't even focus very long without some hand-held device or screen blinking at me.  The endless benifits to technology can be summed up in one word efficiency.  Our personal wants are determined on how fast we get the desired result.  The correlation of worth to time.  The challenge currently is the investment in which I devote my time to technology.  Where as technology for the next generation is a standard, currently we must strive to gain knowledge in the technology field.  Other then the life lesson listed above a tangible lesson that I will take with me would be the video in the classroom project.  For one, it was so much fun, secondly the time invested results in an everlasting memory.  It was not that long ago, in eight grade I created a video project with a classmate.  Of course that was VHS tape during that technological epoch.
In summation, the class brought forth several technologies I.E. you tube, who would have known I have followers, that's right people subscribed to my page, and I don't even know them, crazy right!?  As for now I can only continue to absorb and reflect on how the class has changed my personality and understanding towards technology.

The Good the Bad the Ugly

It was a little difficult finding some great portfolios most are non-working.  The first was http://gallery.carnegiefoundation.org/insideteaching/
This was organized and the colors were a nice mix, also it was easy to navigate.
The bad http://kids-learn.org/
It did not have a great color scheme, or pizzazz, plus it did not match the authors official name, "technology intergration consultant."
