1st Post!

This is the 1st entry in an ongoing reflection about my successes and failures, apprehensions and anticipations, frustrations and satisfactions related to the upcoming school year. I am beginning my 16th year as a science teacher at Upper Arlington High School in Columbus, Ohio. I am currently taking part in a training program that exposes me to a variety of technology tools related to the computer and the internet. In addition, we are receiving training in some of these tools that will enable us to use the internet more effectively and efficiently (both to obtain cogent information and to utilize social media). We have been introduced to RSS feeds, diigo, backnoise, and blogs. We will continue our work together tomorrow and then begin our school year next Monday. I am both excited to continue to learn about these tools, and am somewhat perplexed as to how to be able to implement them appropriately in the classroom. Stay tuned.......
