Starting to blog again
It has been a while since I got up the strength to write on a blog again. I started blogging after taking a course with Alan November and Will Richardson in my graduate program at Seton Hall University. The course really opened my eyes to how technology can and should be used in new ways, how collaboration is reinvented via new technologies and how schools need to pick-up the pace. Scott McLeod has said that, “the pace of change in schools is too slow and the pace of change in technology is too quick” and I think he is right.
My challange now is to keep my learning moving forward and re-engage myself. I have started by blogging again! Looking forward to connecting, re-connecting and expanding my learning beyond my current understandings.

Good morning Dr. R. It is good to see that you are back to blogging.
After our tech class a SHU, I feel that as educators, we are obligated to develop schools that will prepare our students to be truly techno savvy. However, this is a problem because of the lack or available money.
On a positive note, the Feds new stimulus program, will provide us additional dollars for our Title I students. My district has earmarked a large portion of these funds for technology.
