Arriving in the 21st Century
After what seems like an eternity, perhaps I have finally evolved. I've got this blog thing going, I'm making my own podcast videos, and I even use AIM a lot. Heck, I even have an avatar on Second Life, though I don't visit there often. And now, perhaps the last bastion of middle agedness has fallen--I actually have a Facebook page. I might be too cool for myself now. It's amazing how instantly I was connected with people all over the world--friends, family, and karate people, some of whom are literally halfway across the world. But of course, social networking couldn't possibly be useful in education. So I'm really looking forward to going back to work where pretty much all of those things are blocked by the filter. After all, we shouldn't really have people, well, you know, talking to each other. What would be next--working together? Collaborating on projects? Nah.

That's CRAZY talk. Talking, collaborating, working together, connecting. When will I find talk to LECTURE??? Geeeeez.
That is just plain radical, subversive thinking. You've clearly been away too long...it has muddled your thought processes. We need you to come back so we can beat you back into shape.
:-D
Sadly, I'm afraid I was muddled even before I left. Of course, I was also radical and subversive. Perhaps all of those things have gotten worse while I've been off. Not sure I like the whole beating idea, but I will be back next week.
She's just getting healthy, so a beating is out of the question. We'll have to find another form of mind contr... uh, I mean ... another way to help her conform with our [limited] use of technology... :-)
That's it... Keep staring at the monitor... You are getting sleeeeepy....
Wow. Suddenly I feel all dreamy-like....
*evil laugh*
Ahem... Now then, like I was saying, technology is something we should use only as a last resort... A tool to use when all else fails... Only in case of emergency...
Block YouTube! Down with Skype!
You know, you should ask Margaret what she thinks about this crazy talk. Imagine looking up sexuality topics on the Interweb. Holy cow, never in a million years would we want students to find factual information on their bodies.
