EDAD 536 Day one reflection

First of all, I want to thank Tim for intellectually stimulating our minds on such a beautiful sunny day!

Our class discussion raised more questions for me than answers;

1.  How can we provide a world class education for all students given the inequities of technology in our schools?
2.  How do we balance the use of technology in schools?  What is middle school, high school appropriate?
3.  How much is too much technology?
4.  What's the difference between a blog, twitter, facebook, my space, etc?  Why so many?
5.  Technology grants.  What's out there?  How can we access them?
6.  What WEB based programs are available to students?
7.  What technology tools and resources are available a little or no cost for classroom use?

This is my first blog ever.  The more I learn about technology, the more I realize I don't know.  Technology can be very intimidating!  Just sayin'.
