A Non-Stop Trip

These days that I have been blogging, doing research about new technology applications in the classroom, watching the tutorials and blogs of my fellow teacher-classmates, I cannot help feeling satisfaction. I feel I have embarqued in a non-stop trip into the future of education. It is definitely a whole new cyber world to navigate through. A world with endless educational posibilities and great human developmental potential.

My classes have embarqued with me, computer based activities, like powerpoints and logs have enriched our interactions. I have improved the quality and appeal of my teaching periods with more technology assisted activities. At the beginning, it was a little bit overwhelming, even my students saw it, at the beginning, as a challenge but that changed later,into joy and enthusiasm, they got to know new tools or computer based elements to enrich their learining process. Now they use more technology in my classes, and I can see that thet use it and enjoy it.

Now when I have my students read, and then write entries in their wikispaces, I see they are really getting to be literate. Computersa are fascinatin tools that allow students, as one of the classe's video presented: Hypertext can be edited, changed, created, recreated, manipulated, exploited and redirected! I see my students already doing this!

My next step down the road is to keep on getting to explore more tools,in depth and share with my at-site fellow teachers. Cooperative work, or team work enhances a whole school performance. My objective now will be to help other teachers lose their fear of technology and share with them knowledge and experiences. I mean to help my fellow teachers wherever I go, whatever I teach and with whoever I am! Thanks!
