Overwhelming

There is a lot of great technology out there that could be used in a classroom, and truly our students today should be exposed to many of the opportunities out there. It just all becomes so overwhelming to keep track of it all and figure out easy ways to incorporate it into daily lesson plans. While working through the various assignments for this class I can think about ways that I might be able to use it in my classroom. However, the hardest part is then putting that into action. There are days, okay weeks, when I am planning on the go. I never feel like I really have enough time to do these great lesson plans where I might be able to incorporate lots of this technology/ amazing stuff into them. And then there is keeping up with a wiki or blog... Yikes! I suppose that in time, as one used it more and more, it would become easier and easier to incorporate. As with anything it may be wise to start with one thing- such as a class wiki- and really focus on that to create something functional and easy to use. Then when that becomes second nature, move onto incorporating something else and continue to add new opportunities/ experiences as it becomes comfortable.
