Thing 2, More on Create Your Blog and Post About It

Last night I was with a group of family and friends whose level of expertise in technology was about as wide and varied as it can come. Two were St. Paul teachers who have been retired for 6 years, three were active LD teachers from the St. Paul Public Schools and one is the director of the toxicology lab for the State of Wisconsin. I had my laptop along as I needed to send an update on my daughter's medical condition. They were amazed and quite impressed that I had a blog (I left out the part that I was dragged into it kicking and screaming.) All at different places in our lives we talked about how we all look at and use technology differently and how much it has changed from the "olden days." It was pretty amazing. As we talked about different things and couldn't remember details I took out my laptop and "googled." One said, "how did you find that?" It just re-enforced that it's not just the kids that need the education but it is the adults as well and our job is HUGE!
