One Semester Gone!

Well, I made it through one semester of my first year of teaching. There were some rough times, but I have a lot of support and made relatively unscathed. I'm teaching 7th and 8th graders, so if I can handle them, I can handle anything the way I see it. I have discovered that I am going to have to find ways to keep my technology chops up while teaching very basic things to the students. I have found that if I don't stay on top of things in the tech world, it will quickly leave me behind. I just hope I can stay informed. Things are changing so quickly and there were many promising new gadgets at CES this year. I wish I could have gone, but I was able to hear about some cool new toys that I would certainly like to get my hands on. The new watch/cell phone really looks cool. It reminds me of Dick Tracy stuff. There is also a wireless computer keyboard that has a computer inside of it with a small touch panel. It's designed to work with your media system and supposedly will transmit a wireless HDMI signal to your big screen TV. I would love to test it out.
