McKenzie: Becoming a Technoconstructivist

In terms of where I find myself on the development scale, I know that I am far from preliterate. I use technology in various ways in the classroom. I have e-mail and check it at least once a day - though I still prefer to find people for face to face conversations if I can. I have created power points and blogs but have never presented any for my students or had them use and create any of these things. I use the internet for searching for websites and have kept grades on-line, created spread sheets for a myriad of reasons, and use templates for lesson plans, and a few times a year I can take the students to the lab to use computers for word processing, research, and interactive learning sites. So I think that I am a technotraditionalist. I do not worry too much about the reliability of the technology, but I do feel as though I do not have the skills and knowledge to truly integrate what is available, for the greatest benefit of my students, into my instruction and everyday classroom activities.
