What a day!  I am wondering what in the world I have signed up for.   I am struggling with the material that was presented today and  I am feeling overwhelmed in so many ways.   Wondering how it is possible to fit so much information into the two week period. 

However, I was excited to see everyone strengths and to recognize that we will be learning from one another.  I believe everyone in the class will have a different spin and have different background, thus, encouraging my own growth to be positive and insightful.  One person's weakness may be another person's strength.  Learning from others around me will help me ensure that the material that I learn continues to evolve.  Using the many learning dimension that can be seen among my classmates is never ending. 

Today I have learned some of the supports that can be offered using Del.icio.us.  I can see how this program will be able to help me in the future.  I just hope I can develop the skills to an extent, that I have a comfort level for everyday applications.   I am also enjoying the blogging application, and I can also see how this will increase my own learning on a variety of topics.   To be able to reflect on what students offer is a powerful tool.  I am hoping to develop a more in depth understanding on a variety of topics, by being able to understand and read the many reflections that will be presented. 

Using new technologies in my teaching, will allow me to reach more students and helps me to develop  more creative ways to ensure all types of learners are recognized.   The skills that I will learn over the next two weeks will transfer into my own technological understandings and help me develop and broaden other peoples knowledge. 

Understanding a wider range of technologies  that are offered in the education field, will also help me develop more skills as a teacher, this allows me to touch on a greater array of information that is available.
