Cool vid and definitely very applicable. When I was doing some service hours in a school, I chatted with one of the teachers about the sort of 'technology gap' between teachers and students and the fact that students are really craving a change to the "standard" education system.
While I'm not completely illiterate and actually enjoy making lessons that incorporate technology, even I must admit that it won't take too many years for me to be very behind in the technology boom that's happening. My hubby already fusses at me some about it, and I know if not for this reason alone, I must embrace learning more and more as it comes available.
Yeah...it's amazing how quickly things change. Before I started school down the "education" track, I started working in the computer software field. Ten years later, most of the qualifications that got me my first job are largely irrelevant today. Technology changes so quickly. I feel like I'm pretty tech literate while working in the field, but even as I look at the younger students in college with me or at students in the grade schools, I'm amazed at easy it's going to be for me to be out of touch. Crazy.
Hello! I am a Christian woman, working hard to figure out life and learning (slowly) to prioritize those things in my life that I deem valuable. I have been married for 10 years and my husband and I have two young girls. Kylei is 8 and Savannah is 7. They are growing too fast and it's hard to find time to slow down and teach them, love them, protect them- do all the things as a mom that I have been called to do. I am very fortunate though because they are great girls! They're smart, generous, caring, and very loving.
This blog has no agenda-no theme. It's not even kept up with very well, but from time to time I feel the need to post something. Maybe you'll find it funny, enlightening, helpful, or boring. Read, comment, enjoy.
