The World of Possiblilites

This is the first time since I began teaching that I feel I may be on the cutting edge of discovery. I remember when the internet first became accessible to the general public. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Finally we had information at the tip of our fingers. We could access both valid resources as well as bogus information. To be able to search night or day for information and not be confined to the hours of library is still a very satisfying experience. Now we've improved the internet and can communicate in real time to people all over the world. Talk via our computers, download songs, no longer do we have to buy records (okay I'm dating myself), cd's etc. , we can load them onto our ipods etc. We can use the new technologies to simulate labs, podcast lessons, talk to students via the computer, students that you may or may not meet. I can't help but feel right now, that this is almost as exciting as the first successful mission to the moon. (Okay maybe I'm stretching it but from my standpoint its pretty exciting). The world of possiblities keeps getting better every day Pamela Nuttall
