Broyles Blog

My initial thoughts about Web 2.0 are a jumble of overwhelming questions.  How am I ever going to be able to learn everything I need to learn?  There’s just too much!!!  I just won’t pay any attention to the new stuff and stick with what has always worked for me in the past.  Sound familiar?  I believe this is the way many of our students feel sitting in our classrooms.  They hit the proverbial “brick wall.”  I sometimes feel this way with technology and keeping up.  I’m not sure how to use these tools to engage today’s “digital learners.”  If I could learn to do a podcast, then I could post it online and my students and parents could view it to better understand the material.  It would also be beneficial to students who were absent.  I could view other podcasts and subscribe to blogs that would help give me newer and more inovative ideas for teaching.
