the end of the beginning

I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of time we have dedicated to discussing the "social justice" issues that technology raises. I don't think I was anticipating this being as much of a part of the class as it is, but I find it really fascinating and important to discuss these issues of technology and education, especially when we consider the process of lifelong learning. I have always thought about the place of technology in formal school institutions, but I think that considering the role of technology in other, less formal, but equally as important settings, and what we can do, both as teachers and as members of society, to use technology as a tool for bettering the opportunities that all individuals have access to, is incredibly inspiring.

One thing that I would like to do more of, is to experiment more with different forms of technology and online resources and tools.
