ahhh haaa strikes again

Another ahh haa a moment while completing 503 . Readings may have planted the words in my head but i was referring to the resource centre and making the facilities accessible to a larger number of students. The resource centre ? I mean the library dont I? The facilities? Suppose now with working computers and IWB the go in the library, it is about the facilities not just the books anymore. The digital immigrant is emerging ....(Marc Prensky -2001-students of today are natives of the digital world they've been brought up in the digital world , it's me a slightly older generation brought up before the digital explosion.... so NOT in digital mode ...till of late, hence digital immigrant) Me... thinking of the 'library' in this way of ahhh hah? l ...know what it was like before..empathy for those that scorn it ..too hard ....need to ease them in..teachers need to do the digital, speak and teach in the students language and mode ...mmm it is 2010

I ve now had a new addition to the family, the brood decided to consolidate the affair Im having with the computer by giving me an iphone. Me an iphone user? Im loving it. Astounding that my teenage daughter asked me for help with podcasts..me podcasts? , itunes ?downloading? it's a whole new world for me still in awe of it all and of myself .
