Technically Teaching (Lynn's Blog)

This blog will address my thoughts about using technology with elementary students. Many elementary teachers are apprehensive to incorporate technology into the curriculum. My goal is to be an instrument of change in that area and to be an encouragement to my fellow Educators as they discover the many benefits of using technology in their classrooms.

Looking Back

I remember before the 2005-06 school year even started, I asked the Tech. PLC to set up a blog as a means of communication and to document learning for the year. At first, I was overwhelmed by the resistance! I heard things like "What is the purpose? Who will read it? What do I put on it? and lots of How do I.....?"

I really just put this poll on my blog for fun, just because I saw someone else do it. But, I couldn't believe the outcome. As I thought back to all of the questions and the hesitation that our group showed about blogging, I laughed out loud as I realized that Blogging has been named the most valuable tech. tool of the year!

I "linked" a blog entry to the title of this post. It is an exhaustive list of reasons for teachers to blog. I think you will find it interesting.

Oh, and check the date the blog was posted - just when we thought we were getting somewhere!
