As I sit in extended training to be a part of the pilot program here for Google, I feel both excited and scared. I'm excited because I have used various Google Apps in my classroom already and it has been VERY successful. I'm scared because the more we can do, the more we have to do to prepare students to use these tools effectively, efficiently and responsibly. Personal responsibility it not always at the top of the priority list for today's young people. Personal responsibility is a MUST as we embark on our technological journey in this new century.
I am excited and I see great potential. However, it's definitely going to be a wild ride! I'll let you know how it goes.
Can't wait to hear how this year goes! I agree with you about personal responsibility being so important- and not always a top priority for our students.
