Technology

I can't imagine my life without technology. I remember the days when the internet was new and we learned to type on typewriters. It is amazing how much things have changed in such a short period of time. In my daily life what technology do I use.....well at home it would be the computer, internet, cable, tv, my alarm clock to wake me up in the morning, my cell phone (which I can't imagine not having around, even though I didn't have one just 15 years ago) and the microwave to heat things up. At school we use lots of technology from computers, projectors, the distance learning lab (which I absolutely love), internet, telephones, and who knows what else there is.

I think the biggest technology innvention of my time period would be the computer. I think that it has completely changed the way we live our life and has broadened our world. The days of relying on telephone calls and the postal service to get our point across is gone. Everything has some sort connection to a computer. I can't imagine life without it.

A reflection on my life.....
The last couple of weeks have been a bit busy. I will mention one historical thing that I think all of us probably watched together and that was the inauguration of President Obama. We used our class time to watch the proceedings and write letters to the new president expressing our concerns and desires. I was very impressed with the letters that my students wrote and how touching so many of them are. It is amazing the knowledge that students have today of world issues or even issues closer to home. It made me very proud.
