It's Time

It's back to the grindstone. Yikes--So hard to believe that the summer has went by so quickly. My daughter, who is somewht dreading the return to school, said "Just when you get summer broke in it's over!"

I think this is somewhat how teachers feel when it comes to integrating technology. What I hear constantly from staff is "How come just when I learn how to (insert whatever new technology or software your school is focusing on) does it change, and now I'm supposed to learn something new". Well, my response to this is "get used to it," just like the summer that is fading, technology and software change like the seasons.

Me, I love the changing of the seasons, that first cool night when you wake to frost, the first snowflakes, first optomistic meadowlark, first butterfly, and the painting of the leaves. I love it, what a beautiful diverse world. And, such is the marriage of technology and education, ever changing but always enchanting.
