Hello! Welcome to my journey into the world of ed tech! I hope this title evokes for you an image of your first time at the end of the diving board, or possibly your second when you knew what was going to happen when you jumped off the board. Having lived my youth as a fish in a pool, this image immediately came to mind as I attempted to visualize how I feel about diving into the world of ed tech. Although I have dibbled and dabbled with various pieces of assisitive technology, blogging, and other digital tools and formats in the past, I see myself as someone who's already jumped in and is back on that board deciding whether or not to go for a second try. I struggle with many aspects, both literally and figuratively, of ed tech, and hopefully through blogging here about these struggles and my potential triumphs, I'll be ready to fully launch myself off of the diving board and do the most awesome can-opener, splash-inducing, jump that's ever been witnessed online! (a lofty goal, for sure!) I hope you enjoy reading along on this journey. Please feel free to leave your questions, high-fives, and comments for me here!
