I don't feel like I have to be an expert before I show kids an application, however. In projects where I give my student a choice of products, I sometimes have to explain that I'm not so familiar with a tool but I'm happy to help them figure it out if stuck.

Don't forget another jem from Yoda: "...Yes! Don't forget another jem from Yoda: "Action, adventure...a jedi craves not these things." Or another one from Return of the Jedi, when Han tells Chewy to "Fly casual, but don't look like you're trying to fly casual."

My dad informed me after seeing my tweet, that I have indeed seen StarWars and even had my own R2D2 remote control robot. I vaguely remember the robot and princess Lea. <br />On a side note, I have seen the Ewok(sp?) Adventure about 50 times (my little brother was a huge fan). <br /><br />Great lessons learned, Mrs. Tenkelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943016358147486172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005114591173102634.post-71241677006468701382010-02-21T18:52:16.598-05:002010-02-21T18:52:16.598-05:00Love it Nick! Great personal reflection/connection...Love it Nick! Great personal reflection/connection. It's so true what you said about needing the force to use the tech. We've come a long way since districts simply buying up the latest gadgets and expecting immediate increased learning from the students. Teachers need to be trained. We've still a ways to go, but I can vaguely see the light at the end of the... saber (apologies).Keith Ferrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445369218449579074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005114591173102634.post-41041005876177854962010-02-21T18:51:19.792-05:002010-02-21T18:51:19.792-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Keith Ferrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15445369218449579074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005114591173102634.post-85340930335449446982010-02-21T16:02:01.555-05:002010-02-21T16:02:01.555-05:00Great post!

To add to the "dusting crops" quote, I ran several technology sessions over the summer for faculty and at one point one of the more "veteran" teachers told me that I kept saying how easy each tool was but she did not find it easy at all. It made her feel worse that she did not get it Mr. Tom Krawczewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15598496599876743426noreply@blogger.com
