=Welcome to my home page for the online course, Instructional Strategies and Technology!=

===I've been in education for thirty plus years. So needless to say, technology of today did not exist when I first started teaching. I remember the days of the ditto machine - blue fingers and sniffing the aroma of the freshly inked papers. I also remember the joy of completing my first grad paper on a computer versus a typewriter. I recognize the inseparately role of technology in today's world and too often the lack of it in classrooms. My goal is to learn more to share with teachers and model in my everyday practice. An added bonus is to appear wiser with my own children - a daughter in college and a son in 8th grade. Just the other day, he had a good laugh when I handed him a dictionary. Why would he ever use that when he had a computer in front of him. I have to admit, he found the word far more quickly his way than mine.===
