week synthesis

Have to admit that I'm looking forward to starting our new book!  I'm ready to move on from Postman LOL
Not only from this last week's reading, but from the whole book I've learn a couple of points that I need to work on to help me understand myself and technology better.  I still am trying to look at things differently after grasping the idea that EVERYTHING is technology - our classrooms, tables, books, and possibly even myself.  Maybe it's my age that keeps me muddling this thought over in my head - I didn't grow up with computers, MP3's and the such so, I don't know, I just see these type of items as technology because that has been what it has been called since these type of items since they started coming out.  I also want to make sure that I don't box a child into what they are capable of doing by a number.  I believe that I didn't do this at the beginning of my career, but as time has gone on it seems that that is ALL those high above are worried about, so I too focus on numbers.  It is a shame to limit kids by numbers.
