Welcome Back: Video Response

If I'm to be the teacher who can facilitate all the activities of that student, I'm going to need a whole lot more training. I was amazed that he could find all the information he needed, do all the weeding and find credible sources because I find myself often overwhelmed by a sea of mega-data. This again proves that I need more training. Just last week I was looking for video footage of a teacher using the SRA Reading Mastery Program for 2nd grade. The outcome: a 2 hour search, waded through all sorts of useless junk and never really found quite what I wanted to see. I find I often chicken out by using the same old sites I always use. I guess I see some personal technology goals surfacing in this blog post.

You bought tamales at the farm stand? Surely they were made from local masa or some other local produce/products? Anyway, on to more salient points: I was overwhelmed by the video! 1: I felt like I had forgotten so much of what we learned last summer, and 2: I wondered if I would ever be able to keep up with the growing responsibilities of the 21st century teacher. Learning architect? Communication specialist? Information sherpa? Yipes!
