1st Weekend Learning

This 1st weekend has left me a little overwhelmed but excited for the new possibilities that technology can bring.  I was skeptical with creating a Twitter but once I became familiar with it, the more beneficial I am finding it to be!

One big idea for me this weekend, was the difference between education and edutainment while using technology.  This is an issue I see as a lower elementary school teacher.  Technology is used more as a tool for engagement and/or to entertain the students. 

Another big idea was how technology cannot replace good teaching...it needs to enhance the good teaching that is already taking place in the classroom.

I have already learned quite a bit from just the first weekend...I can't wait to learn more! :)
