When I first began my blog I had visions of typing away on my computer, writing on a variety of topics related to technology, with the hope of providing a source of information and ideas. I found that the idea was easier than the practice. Most often I found it difficult to separate my opinions from my daily experiences as an educator and technology resource teacher. In reaction, I didn’t post some of the things I had been writing and updates to my blog ceased.
Today, it is with renewed interest and inspiration from my involvement in the graduate Educational Technology program at Central Connecticut State University that I write and post again.
Creativity and the ability to express myself creatively are essential elements of my personality. Over time technology has become an essential part of my creative expression and fuels my personal interest in digital photography and video.
Developments in technology in recent years have promoted the use of technology to communicate and to collaborate. Technology developments are exciting and the future of technology lies in people being online, connected, communicating, and collaborating.
This is the primary motivation for my return to the Ed. Tech program at CCSU. I hope to learn the tools that will help me better connect and communicate in a growing tech driven society. I’m most excited to learn Flash and web development tools.
So to my classmates who are now finding their way here to my blog- welcome. I look forward to working with you.
