Hello Cyndi,
I was wondering if you were able to go to my final blog. I have tried to get it on the discussion boards, but I am not sure it is working. This class was a great learning experience for me. I didn't know there was such a big resource opportunity with technology. My age is showing. Thank you for showing me all the new tecniques and activities to do in my own class.

Hello, Cyndi.
Thanks for inviting me to join your community of learners. I'm curious to know what you think I might be able to contribute to the discussions here. I feel a little like the old and grayed war veteran among the smartly fresh but untested new troops! It was in 1969 when I first made use of a dumb terminal wired to an IBM mainframe in doing my job. Ever since I've introduced adults in workplaces to a succession of digital technologies, some components of which are now held in the palm of the hand. It's been quite a human/organizational adventure, too, with as many tears shed by professionals personally challenged by change as there were high fives of mastery. Anyhow, I'll be happy to participate in as helpful a manner as is possible for an old dog like me!
Thanks again.
Hello Friend Cyndi,
Just read the email on the flash meeting. I will try to not stress out, but I took tecs 290 2yrs ago and it wasn't from you. Most of what you are having us do is all new to me. Didn't know half of this stuff existed. So please be patient with me and I will figure things out
I played that Ken Robinson talk for a group of teachers last year. He has a marvelous sense of timing and makes some excellent points. I especially like his focus on "learning" as opposed to "teaching."
