Mess with Math

“I am a walking metamorphosis.” ( Raul Seixas)

Lifelong learning is the most important value for an educator. As we work with students and each other, we only confirm that knowledge is an ever expanding pool. Reconstructing one’s mental schemata is important for all humans and essential to those who enter a classroom.

Maintaining my learning tool box is, to me, the most important survival skill as an educator. As I input information, integrate it with the existing schema, I can actually feel that I evolve cognitively – if not spiritually – and physically. This course will allow me to search for learning sources that intimidate me: technology.

Learn to use technology to my advantage is what I am seeking the most in this course. Working with technology is not intuitive to me – everything takes longer to me than it does the way-below average person.  Because of that, I tend to fight trends in education that involve technology. In a timely manner, technology just ate several minutes of my time: the last and current sentence are written in a different font. I have no idea how/why this happened and, after spending a long time searching for ways to correct this, I gave up. Problem is, I do not give up easily… So, I am not a happy blogger right now!
