Week 3

Working with new technology can be a bait challenging if it is only
done sporadically. I did the first post three weeks ago, then left for vacation
and forgot everything I had done. There is a lesson there for those of us
in education. Just because we have taught something once, it doesn't mean
that students will remember it if we do not constantly re-enforce what we
have taught.

I did play with Flicker, and found several things that could be done with it for assignments and student reports. However, administrators have not kept up with new technology possibilities. Flicker is blocked at our school, so students will not be able to use it unless they can find it and learn to use it at home by themselves. It seems a shame.
