Thing # 7A

Boy can I sympathize with Andy in this blog!He is a perfectly capable and well-informed leader, but lacks knowledge of many 2.0 tools. Sound familiar?? The point of the article is that unless we as leaders are aware of the capabilities of technology, how can we expect our teachers to use them in today's classrooms? I am really working to at least acquaint myself with the tools in this class. Some of them are very difficult for me , particularly the ones that deal with the visual images...the slideshow, the image generator and even Delicious. I need to quit whining, but some of this is really hard for me...something about an old dog and new tricks keeps running through my mind. But I'll muddle through. It is important work for me to move myself forward as a role model for facilitators and teachers.
