I enjoyed meeting everyone at our first class. We can learn a lot from one another since our work experiences differ so much.
The article I was assigned to read was The Digital Disconnect. I had a hard time relating to the issues in this article. Since I work for a virtual school, our students are able to use the Internet without any restrictions by the school. The parents are in control of what their child views on the Internet.
I enjoyed the videos of a blog and wiki. They were simple and to the point. I can't wait to use Teacher Tube with my students on Elluminate (my online classroom).
I'm looking forward to working with everyone this semester.

Hi Leigh Ann!
I work for an online education company that works with a variety of different schools including virtual schools and public, brick and mortar schools. I see a wide variety of of understanding and implementation of educational technology. I once went to train teachers at a large charter school and the school did not have internet access and they stated that they didn't want it! I had a difficult time convincing them that they would need the internet for their students to access our courses! I think that demonstrates a huge digital divide!
