New to the Blogging Thing
This is my first blog, my first time on a blog well you get the idea. I am a Liberty University Graduate student in the MAT program. I elected to take this class because I have been a substitue here in Southern California the last 3 years and see an ever increasing trend towards technology. Since I am not a teckkie I thought I would try and understand what this generations "Final Frontier" is all about. I also manage an amputee golfer who is playing his way onto the PGA tour. I know were supposed to talk about technology issues but its a challenge just to get this written right now.

I too am not part of the technolgy department, but use a great amount of technology in my teaching. I teach juniors and seniors an Earth Science class based around technology. For example, we use a program called ARC GIS. It is a program for mapping that allows layers of maps to be laid on another. It is a program used by the USGS and many other companies throughout the United States for mapping various information. We also use an astronomy program called Starry Night that allows our students to complete Solar System lab activities. I am looking forward to learning more about technology so to become more involved in not only integrating the current technology, but to also work in the field to create learning opportunities for students. Thanks for the post.
