The beginning....
Wow here it goes, its like the start of a very scary rollercoaster. Over the holidays I waited in line like an excited child for the adventure to begin. So here we are: E-learning the new fun and interesting active way to learn.
I am very excited like many of my colleges to learn about e-learning, the ins and outs, the pro's and con's and of course share in exciting ways kids can learn throught the electronic age.
I would consider myself a digital native. Although I attended school during the late 80's and the 90's. I began falling in love with computers and the Internet during the late 1990's as I was leaving high school and beginning uni.
Through my teaching I have explored e-learning in greater depth and have a clear idea of my dream classroom. Of course each child would have a laptop, a colour printer in the classroom, a mimio whiteboard, colour scanner and 12 digital cameras if not one each... oh and now that I have seen some schools using iphones that is becoming another part of the dream.
While loving technology and using it with children... currently my biggest issue is access... but this is only the beginning of the journey. Seatbelts on and rollercoaster a Go...
