Lost Duck

I'm like a lost duck waddling through muddy waters when it comes to blogs. I'm learning, but it's amazing.

What's a hyperlink?

A hyperlink is a cool tool for connecting your audience to websites where they can learn more about the subject you're writing or posting about. It's useful in websites and blogs, and it's even becoming more and more common in ordinary Word documents which readers access on computers. Here's a hyperlink to help you understand what a hyperlink is!

A hyperlink is kind of like a chain link!

happy to be on board!

just an FYI

I'm going by my writing alterego moniker, "Zedonk" --

didn't want anyone to think they were being spammed!

Ann, I'm so new to this -- completely clueless about developing profile here -- but I'm sure David will save the day!

I have worked on my profile for this blog and want to post a photograph. (David did, so I want to, too.) However, not being as technologically savvy as David, I don't know how to get it from My Pictures to the blog. Can anyone out there help me?

The Crystal Ball: What Forbodeth Technology for the Profession of Teaching?

Our profession--teaching, that is--is divided into camps--as usual.

What else is new under the sun after all these years??

The most current battle lines form on different sides of the technology issue. Most of the embattled agree that technology will change the way students live and work in the real world, but they don't agree on how technology impacts teaching and/or learning.

The radical pregressives envision technology as enabling constructivist pedagogies empowering learners to work collaboratively to construct knowledge. They tend to view technology as an intrinsic medium rather than a supplementary tool.

The traditionalists envision technology as a potential threat to the security of their role as classroom managers and the authority of the lectern. While they allow that technology provides tools useful for teaching and learning, they seek to apply the technologies to traditional patterns and strategies of teacher-directed teaching.

Oversimplification? Maybe a little. But it's a starting place for debate!
