Are You Ready?

I'm having a tough time getting ready to go back to school this year. After thirty-two years I'm scared! "Why? " you might ask. "You should be able to teach your classes with your eyes closed," you might add.

Well , my eyes have been opened wide this summer thanks to the conference I attended in San Antonio (NECC) and the inservice I completed locally (INTECH 21S). I have spent my summer learning as much as I could about the amazing tools we will be using this year. There is so-o-o much to learn! I hope I'm ready.

Blogs, wikis, podcasts, Skpye, global communication, eportfolios, epals, vodcasts, digital storytelling, Photo Story 3, Garageband. Are you ready to join me?

Let me know what you know about Web 2.0.

Thoughts to ponder:
1. Do you have a computer with a high speed Internet connection?
2. Do you ever Google?
3. Do you have an iPod or MP3 player?
4. Do you have a digital camera?
5. Have you ever made a podcast?
6. Do you have a MySpace or similar account?
7. Do you have an email account?
8. Have you created a PowerPoint slideshow?
9. Have you have posted to a blog or wiki?
10. Are you ready for an incredialbe year with Web 2.0 tools?
