When I was trying to decide where I wanted to direct my focus for my blogging experience this semester, I tried to think about what might be the most beneficial for me and would be something I could use once I left this class.
The first thing that popped into my head was trying to figure out how to utilize eLearning strategies in a face to face classroom situation. So off I go on my jaunt to find a resource that I could blog about....la la la...google.com....ask.com....dogpile...lots and lots of sites, books, etc. on blended learning...how to use eLearning in a social studies class...an english class...a science class...a math class....hmmm....I'm a computer teacher....searching...searching...still searching...NOTHING !!
It seems as though..once again..the computer teachers are forgotten. We are constantly being preached to that we need to incorporate technology into our teaching...but, what happens when that's all you have is technology? Are there different ways you can do it? Are there resources out there for us?
I've decided to make it my personal mission this semester to travel to the ends of the earth to find resources for computer teachers...they have to be out there somewhere !!! If not...I expect that I will be starting a little underground network...
can't wait to start on my quest...I'm off to pack my bags...

Rose,
I do know how you feel! While it's obvious that I would teach about eLearning using eLearning tools, it's amazing how constricted I sometimes feel in terms of technique.
I too keep looking for interesting and innovative ways to teach this class - hopefully your journey will be an adventure for all of us!
Cheers, Dr. N
