Gribbin- what i want to know
I feel like I am getting thrown into many different online tools that will benefit my teaching lessons and environment. It is wonderful to learn about the amazing programs at our fingertips, but I am concerned about my knowledge base for each. I would like to know if anyone has matching feelings about all of this new technology: I am aware of the programs we have access to, but I just don't know how to use them. I feel stuck, and truthfully at this point it would be quite difficult to use a program in my classroom because I really don't know much about them. Help..does anyone feel this way too?
