I found the course at bit overwhelming at first, I was cynical about how microchip technology could be used in education. By the end of Thursday, my point of view has changed.

10/09/2010 I am slowly overcoming my unjustified my fear of microchip technology. I found a great BBC website that offers education tools. It will be interesting to view the long term effects that this new method of teaching will have upon students in the future. I guess only time can yield such results.

13/09/2010 I will put in the BBC link soon. http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/teachers/ Here it is...

13/09/2010 I have come to terms with the notion that my classroom teaching methods needs to become a lot digital than what they currently are.

14/09/2010 There has been a lot of information to absorb over the past few days. I have found some parts a bit overwhelming, aside from that it has been interesting. I'm sure it will be interested when this form of technology is used on a daily basis within the classroom. I need to keep my finger on the pulse regarding the development of microchip technology.

The four day course has drawn to a close. I found it informative and slightly intimidating. So much information regarding the progress of microchip technology, my poor organic brain has to struggle to retain large chunks of the information. I think that hands on benefit would work best.
