C4T Summary

The first Teachers blog in this series that I left a comment for was for a teacher who was expressing his feelings about being judged. He said that in his school, church, etc.., he is often referred to as the "tech-guy". He expresses how being the technology guy is not a bad thing, but he wants for those around him to realize that there is much more to him than just technology. He has different interests and is capable of a lot more than just helping with technology. I see this everyday in the real world, and I found it very bold and applaud him for having the bravery to express how he feels about this issue. The next comment I left was for a teacher who had just been involved with the Oklahoma Technology Assosciation/Encyclomedia Conference. This conference was held in Oklahoma and was a Media Camp. This camp taught different skills like how to use Ipads, and how other teachers are incorporating technology into their classrooms. I found this to be very interesting because I had never heard of a Media Camp like this. Something that was exciting for me to hear in the video on his blog was from a teacher who said that she was able to network a lot during the camp. She said that she normally only has comments on Twitter from teachers outside of the country, but not usually people shese actually met before. At this conference she was able to build her PLN, learn new ways to incorporate technology, and learn how to use the new technology at a more in depth level.
