Welcome to My Blog

As an ESL teacher at a community college, I have an interest in emerging technology concepts and tools that can be used in my teaching and with my students. As an educator, I am interested in emerging technologies that are reshaping the concept of education as we know it. I am constantly learning about new technology as I attend workshops, read articles, and talk to colleagues. More often than not, I find myself scribbling new tech leads onto little pieces of paper that are scattered around my office in one folder or another. The purpose of this blog is to centrally organize these leads on new technology into one place and to share them with others that might be interested in their use in the second or foreign language classroom (or maybe you are using them already). I welcome comments from others who have heard of or are using technologies that are explored in this blog. How are you using them? Who are you using them with? Are they worth the learning curve and time invested in training your students to use them? What impact do they have on your teaching and your students' learning?
