First Ever Blog

So I know that this blog is supposed to be about education and everything related to education.  But first I wanted to start off by saying that this is my first ever blog and I'm totally psyched yet freaked out at the same time.  I thought I was a technology person considering I grew up with all these wonderful resources, but being halfway through this class I have realized that I know nothing about the technology world.  I have heard of all these things, like podcasts and blogs, but actually using them is like a foreign language to me.  I am excited to explore this world of technology and become more accustomed to using the blog.  I just hope that the technology world is ready for me and is willing to be patient.  LOL.

Unfortunately working in a day care (I work as an Assistant Pre-K Teacher at a Goddard School), there aren't much opportunities for technology to be used in the classroom.  We do have access to a computer and the internet and we have great cd-roms for the children to learn from, but other than there isn't much for them, at least not available in the school.  I wish this weren't the case.  I guess only time will tell how much technology that we can make available to our young learners.
