Professor A: I have gone kicking and screaming into the computer age. The fact that I felt uncomfortable with each new tool did not change the fact that the tools were here to stay, and my students were fluent in their uses. I decided I needed to make greater use of them for a couple of reasons. First, as a teacher I should model good teaching. Building relationships with students is a powerful way to engage them in learning. If much of their life relates to technology, I need to know more to know them better. Second, it appears that technology will become more and more a part of the classroom. I encourage my students to make greater and greater use of it. I can do no less and call myself a good teacher. It is a journey that begins with this step into blogging.
