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.
I am really glad you decided to try something new. I too was overwhelmed my first class. As I am approaching the end of my Master's Unit... I guarantee you will be able to complete this class and feel excited about technology. It is really cool. Time consuming to begin with yes... saving you time in the long run... most definitely yes. Have fun with it! I am so happy to be together with some of my classmates yet once again! :)

Yes, it can fell overwhelming at times. However, I know you are up for the challenge! As you have heard me say and I think you know, technology is always is always changing. You're not alone in this all of us are constantly learning. Your HS projects have been great. You are doing an excellent job and I know everything else will be outstanding as well.
