Tech Manifesto

Hmm...probably not the best title to use. Rest assured, I'm not a survivalist headed for the hills.

So...opening thoughts for this mandatory blog:

I'm interested primarily in the ways teachers, rather than students, can use technology in order to create more efficient, engaging, and clearer classes. Technology as a means of facilitating the exchange of ideas.

I am wary of technology becoming the subject rather than the means of exploring the subject. Technological literacy is without question a necessary skill, but every time I think about how to use it in the clssroom I stop thinking about the subject I'm supposed to be teaching. My interest in technology ends when its use impedes rather than assists.
