I never knew 15min was so long...

Though we were unable to finish all of the presentations because in the world of new media 15 minutes can last a rather long time, I really enjoyed all the dialoguing we were bale to do after the presntation had finished. I think it really gave us all a chance to get to knwo one abother better and more fully understand the place we have all come from. The topics everyone chose truly spoke to each of as individuals and think that is an important fact that many educators soon forget when they allow students to choose a topic at will. I really like the fact that you could tell everyone was really passionate about the topic they were presenting on because we all were able to talk at lengths about the intricacies and the possible classroom application to no end.

I was really amazed at hoe much I had forgotten when it came to calculators and was wowed at all the different options there were when it came to smart boards. Along with the fall backs of bot, over reliance of technology can hinder us in the short run of things. However integrating technology into our classrooms while still utilizing traditional methods allows to use technology but not fall victim to it when for some reason it is not cooperating.
