Higher Learning

Hello Bloggers… this is a response to our discussion last week.  I was in the middle of writing it, when I decided to take a break- and then I sort of forgot about it!   So, even though it is a week late- I hope that it counts for something.
 
My, my, my… The responses that people are taking the time to read and write are wonderful!  I am blown away by the thought that everyone is putting into our blog.  Anyways, moving on… I thought that the class on digital imaging was very informative and engaging.  It was awesome that Gloria was able to track down the cameras and bring them to us.  I was thoroughly enjoying myself- until I lost all of the pictures on my own camera.  I had pictures on there from my internship, volunteer work that I had done, pictures of my family and friends… etc.  I guess that after I had lost all of my data, I sort of lost interest in the whole project. I was so mad at the fact that I am in the middle of a computer class that is teaching us not to be afraid of technology- but then I lose all of my pictures.  Oh well… life goes on… and I suppose that it is my fault to for not having a backup system.
Yikes!  I didn’t mean to sound like such a baby in the last paragraph!  Okay… moving on.
I wanted to touch on a question that Kyle had asked: Do my you truly feel you will use digital cameras in their own future classrooms? In response, yes…I truly think that I will use digital cameras.  I had my camera out all of the time during internship! There are loads of ways that cameras can be incorporated into our lessons. However, I am doubtful that all school settings will have access to such technology. 
That’s it for now… later dudes!
