This posting begins my path down the road of an ed-blogger. For the past several years I’ve lurked though the comments and postings of many other ed-bloggers, afraid to do more than leave an occasional anonymous comment.

Today that ends! I hope that my thoughts and reflections may prove useful to others as they struggle with the complex task of integrating technology effectively into the classroom.

My goals for this blog are:

• share the configurations and hacks of open-source software that I find particularly useful
• reflect upon why we should care about technology in the classroom
• look at how students respond to using technology for learning
• observe how educators view and use technology in the NCLB era
• connect with other educators who share my vision of the future of education
