New Media excitement

Today we spent time in my Instructional Psych and Tech class learning about using moodle. I am excited to learn more about new media because I am convinced it is so important in engaging students and in encouraging them to make their own classroom discoveries, both at school and at home on their own time.

I have been an avid blogger for a couple of years and have learned to appreciate technology and all that it can offer in both a social and an educational arena. I use Facebook and Twitter also, and have learned that these tools are much more than just social outlets. I am pretty comfortable with new media and am glad to learn more about its potential uses in the classroom.
