New Thinking from Class

Today during class we discussed the positive and negatives to using technology and social communities.  It was good to bring the negatives in, because as the group said the book only brought up positives.  But as teachers we need to look at both the positives and negatives and weigh them out.  It is always important to have a back up plan when using technology.  The group had inteded to use a new tool which would have allowed us all to try the tool and meet the needs of different learner types.  As future teachers it is important to think about if we fill the mold of a typical teacher or if we will be an innovative teacher and bring new ideas and things into the classroom.
