Today I've found myself thinking a lot about how much technology has advanced in my lifetime. I still remember one birthday getting a computer. I was so excited until I got it into my bedroom and realized it took up half the room! I also remember my parents first cell phone. It was one of those box phones that must have weighed five pounds and was to be used in emergencies only. Today we have laptops with fewer square inches than a piece of paper, and cell phones the size of a credit card. The Internet was made accessible in my lifetime; wireless connections were invented, online books and shopping have all become possibilities in my lifetime. It makes me stop and wonder what kinds of technology will be available to my children? How far will we have progressed when I die?
Technology is progressing so rapidly, I just wonder, how far it will go?

It's really exciting to see the new up and coming things (like that coffee table things, SO COOL!) I have a similar growing up. It's been weird and exciting stuck in the middle between a digital native and a digital immigrant. I'm sure as teachers we will learn so much about technology from our students. I can't wait!!!
