I think something that often comes with technology is the fact that it is getting more and more advanced every day. And with that truth, I am always left feeling like I still have so much to learn. And I do. I'm just going to vent for a little bit: As soon as I learn something new about technology, the next big thing comes right on out. For example, I thought my blog looked pretty good. I used bright colors, I cropped my picture to be the proper size for my profile, and completed my awesome blog with a list of my favorite things on the sidebar (i discovered this on the 'add a gadget' option) Then Jeff shows a really cool looking blog with pictures and videos...and I'm behind again! There's always this pressure to keep with the Jones' of technology. There is always some other, bigger, better thing I can add or learn on this dang computer! I mean, I'm finally on Twitter....some of my friends have been on it for a year. I am often left feeling like a late bloomer every time I finally get the hang of some new technological milestone. How on earth will I catch up?However, it is a learning process, right?
We keep learning in our education classes that there will be all different types of learners in our classrooms. Students will learn at all different paces and in different ways. So, I must accept my personal speed of learning everything technology.
I shall put on my tech blinders and let myself learn at my own pace.
until next time...

Good points..no need to "keep up with the Jones'"...just keep learning at your pace...and using the technology that helps you...I find new things everyday, but only so much time to do so much...and so we do what we can!
