Last night in our Literacy and Technology class, we had our final whole class group meeting and shared presentations online of our WoW (Wonders of the WeB) projects. Everyone did such a phonemonal job researching and sharing information on Web 2.0 tools and the related pedogogy that understanding was made easy and motivation to get our feet wet using these tools was extremely high. The presentations were clear, concise and exciting.
I had two thoughts as we closed out the class. One was that our young people are in good hands if my classmates can be their educators. Not only because of their obvious understanding of what makes good teaching, but in their ability to teach, evidenced in their delivery of the presentations. Right from the first presentation, there was thoughtful, deliberate engagement of us "students".
My second thought is: how am I going to have enough time left in my life to try out all of these cool tools. I will have to pick and choose, but it will be difficult!
