iPod Touches in the Classroom

Now that I have been able to experiment with the iPod Touch more, I am much more comfortable using it. It has been a challenging quarter in technology but I am excited about how much I have learned and how much I am starting to enjoy technology. I was always so far behind in the instruction that the learning took forever. With the ideas and assignments and help in tech class I feel like I have a good base of knowledge that will help move me forward in a manner that is reasonable for me and I will be able apply this to my classrooms.
Now when I am talking with other teachers at school or in other places, I am comfortable discussing technology and if it is something I have not heard of (which is still often) I can follow along in the conversation and ask questions that help me understand what is going on. Then I can look it up at home and find out more about it. I have learned enough of the language of tech, that I do not feel like an outsider when the subject of technology comes up.
With the help of a tutor (I should have done this last year) and many hours of trial and error, I am much better equipped to find solutions to my own question and know where to look to find new ideas. I feel that this iTouch project helped bring me into the current decade and now it is my job to stay here and move forward to the next one.
