A Mad Scientist

Wow!  There are a lot of tools out there.  With all of these technological tools a teacher can easily be overwhelmed.  So this is what I decided.  One, not every technology is best for every instructional goal.  For example, if you want to teach a student how to work within Microsoft Word, then a screencast may be the most effective tool because it allows a student an audio-visual feed to follow.  Creating a static web page may be less effective in this scenario.  Two, all these neat tech tools could be a flash in the pan, or you could find their best use and apply as technology intergration in your everyday lesson plans.  It may take time, but once you have created something digitally you have access to it for a very long time.
