Welcome!

Welcome to my technology blog, created for TPTE 486 at the University of Tennessee. I have high expectations for this course, since I am only somewhat familiar with the instructional technology that is available today. I am not especially tech-savvy, but I'm no techphobe either. It has been over ten years since I've been in a high school classroom, but I have been keeping up with some of the advances in instructional technology (smartboard, use of youtube, class websites). I am looking forward to learning a great deal more about web-based tools and how to actually use one of those "smartboards". I hope you enjoy my blog as I reflect on this class throughout the semester.
