Symposium+-+Monday

==I have to be honest, it was a little hard to keep up with David Warlick all the way through his third session, but the information he provided was useful nonetheless. I am transferring to Lowell Elementary next year and am excited to be a part of technology focus they have. Since I'll have an iPod Touch for every student in my room next year, I'll hopefully be able to use some of the RSS news feeds that David demonstrated. I think giving my kids the tools necessary to train information to come to them will be a powerful tool for the classroom.==

==David's lesson about integrating literacy rather than technology was a solid point. It's true that we are training our kids for a world which we have no idea about. Technology needs to be the primary in which we question, explore, converse, respond, gather information, etc. Technology should be so second nature that we shouldn't even talk about how to integrate it. Instead, we should strive to get to the point that where we are focusing, once again, on teaching the subjects in a technology based environment.==
