I am as passionate about teaching as I am about being a mother. Do I make mistakes? Quite often. Am I perfect? No way. I do not proclaim to have the inside scoop on what the right answers are. I am only able to deliver my personal twist and take on subjects that matter to me. I hope that you enjoy reading my life as a mother and teacher in the 21st century as we attempt to navigate the world wide web and not get lost or lose each other.
Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks
It is much harder to teach an adult these days new technology vs a child that has grown up with this technology all his life. Children these days assimilate with this new technology, taking it in stride as if it is a natural phenomenon rather than accommodating it which is what we in our generation seem to do. Kids these days view computers , the internet and PC's as we viewed Television and Walki Talki's. Our way of thinking needs to change in order for us to find a level playing field to work and communicate within for our children's sake. For this reason we need to teach our "Old Dogs" new tricks and bridge the gap of communication with use of electronics and web 2.0 tools that we have at our disposal.
