Week 5: "Get Over It"

Today as I packed up my classroom for summer, one of my fellow teachers came in to tell me about a site she just found that ties language (which we both teach) and technology (we are now a 1:1 iPad school).  I was excited to say the least.  The site is called Langwitches and I'm now currently following their blog.  One of the articles "Get Over It" talks about teachers needing to get over the fear of technology and embrace it.  I am proud to be in a school that I can confidently say all of the staff embrace technology.  It makes the point to say that even if a teacher doesn't embrace technology, by no means does it mean that their students won't be able to learn, but rather the students will only be able to get to a certain point before the lack of technology starts to way in and become a problem - especially in the age of technology that we are in today!
