End of the workshop

Well, that was a fast 4 days! Once we found the candy and milkshakes, I knew it was going to be hard to leave.

I'll have to admit, I was pretty proud of the teachers in the Technology training. They picked up the technology tools VERY quickly, and their applications were way beyond what we expected.

I like the dichotomy of the teacher and student use of technology, but am struck by the realization that often what students do with technology is try to "teach" others in ways that are similar to what their teachers do. We reviewed some of the major learning and development theories, and how they might apply to use of digital media in the classroom, but I think another are to consider is the effect it might have on student motivation.

I hope participants will keep in touch with their "stories" about how it goes!

Also, don't forget that you can post video to the blogs, so practice and send us what you've made.
