For what will probably be my last blog for this class, I thought I would reflect on what I have learned this summer. These are things I want to take back to my classroom.

1. Multimedia is more about student production that teacher delivery. Sure it my be great to have a great way to deliver information. Students may be more engaged in learning. But ultimately we need to provide students with a way to use the technology themselves.

2. The digital classroom represents the future. I don't know how long it will take me to go completely digital, but it is something I will strive for. I will still have paper in my classroom just less of it.

3. The new component of literacy. Students need to truly understand the technology around them. Many have an extensive knowledge of technology, but it is not a very deep knowledge. We need to give students an opportunity to be consumers of knowledge and information. Students need to know how to recognize the good and the bad in the online world. Students need to be creators of knowledge. We must give students an opportunity to develop this new dimension.
