Wow, eye openers...

I have to agree with all the previous posts. I had no idea about the need for accessibility for web reading software as well as the explosion of AVATAR. My wife works at a newspaper and mentioned a discussion about Second Life, but I didn't really pay attention or ask any questions about it. I had a lot to ask her tonight about what she knew/heard/etc... I have always realized the importance of technology in education as well as appropriate use, but finding that balance can be difficult. I can see that leadership is responsible not only for budgeting in appropriate technology for use in the classroom, but also getting everyone on board and creating a plan for executing implementation of that technology appropriately. I feel like I can adequately handle technology so I can't say I feel overwhelmed, but I do feel anxious to learn more about the technology that we are covering.
