 Travis  Technology remains for me a teacher centered learning tool.  That said it is part of almost everything that I do.  From instructions to vocabulary to presentations and lessons.  All incooperate elements of technology, specifically the projecter. I have been able to represent complex ideas in visual form in a much more student friendly way.  I am also able to show imagery that would be difficult in other, more expensive,  ways Students have reacted well but as with any teaching method it must be used in variety so students don't burn out. Massive planning and prep work.  The images I use have to be found and reviewed before I show them.  Videos have to be downloaded rather than simply streaming, To prevent pauses and stalling. It is possible but it does take work.  You have to be willing to put in the time and effort to make these things work.

    Travis:I do not intend to complain about this activity and process but, the use of technology should serve the purpose of making me more effective or more efficient. This activity felt a though it was neither. We have done similar activities in the past. In the future I feel that more planning needs to go into these exchanges to ensure maximum benefit.
