Web 2.0 what is that? I have heard of other teachers using wikis and my kids have blogs but what are those really? I know that technology can be a great tool to teach kids but how do I incorporate it into my classroom? I know that my students know technology so it is up to me to get myself to their level and let them show me what they can create.
A few questions for myself though on how to get this done:
1. How do I get myself trained to do the things I need to do in my classroom so I can lead the kids?
2. How do I get access to everything I need to put this training to work? If it is what we need to be doing and if this technology can better reach the student how do I make sure I have everything I need to get it going?
3. How do I get around having to override topics three or four times to gain access to certain sites for the students to use?
4. How do I make sure students are only gaining access to topic appropriate sites?
5. How do I incorporate the school district's curriculum, the TEKS/TAKS, and the test taking strategies necessary for the students to pass TAKS into a technology based learning?

These are excellent questions to keep in mind as you progress through this course. Hopefully by the end, you will have a better understanding and ability to start using some of these tools.
You have some great questions. I have some of the same concerns. I find myself constantly overriding material for my classroom that is blocked, especially UTube. I have discovered so many wonderful things for my classroom on this site.
Oh my gosh! I thought the same thing. Hopefully it will come together by the end of class! Great Blog!
Thank you for your post. I've been asking myself many of the same questions. I feel like I've made one of the first steps already. 23 Things might answer some of these questions as we complete each exercise.
