Starting My Master of Arts in Education: Digital Teaching and Learning

I am excited to be starting my classes in Master of Arts in Education: Digital Teaching and Learning.  I am illiterate in the area of technology, so these classes are going to be especially challenging for me, but I am eager to learn how I can implement the use of technology in my own classroom to meet the needs of my students.  Not only am I learning about technology, I am also learning a lesson on how it is for students in my classroom, when they are completely overwhelmed and have no idea what the teacher is talking about!  Like the first day of class when Karen was talking about Google Docs, HyperStudio, Web Quest, and making our own blogs, all of us newbie's to the program were looking at each other like, Huh?!  Well, I have done my first project using HyperStudio and it was pretty cool.  It took me what seemed like forever to finish it and I am hoping now that I am familiar with using HyperStudio, my second project won't be so time consuming.
