Why I Am A Educational Technology Teacher!

Creating and building a web 2.0 classroom can be hard and frustrating at times, particualrly when you are trying to model and encourage other teachers to just begin using technology. I just gave a session on making newsletters with publisher. I know that the thought of web 2.0 would be too much.


Just being an educational technology teacher in a school is hard. So why do we keep doing it? The frustrating thing for me is knowing that when students leave my class they are going to be going back to the dark ages with the next teacher who hardly uses technology for themself let alone with the students.

Anyway, I thought I would start a list of reasons why educational technology teachers continue to try technology in their class when others around them don't understand and refuse to try. The list is on my blog at:
