The Scope of the Imagination

I am a bit of an old fashioned person. In fact, there are times when I think I was born a hundred and fifty years late! But since I am living now, I love the old classics like Anne of Green Gables. When I leave my home in the morning, I walk through my little picket fence and greet the mason who is working on the house next door. I then walk to school under a canopy of fall leaves. Whether the sun is beautifully shining or my umbrella is whipping around in the wind, I know it is a great day to be alive. When I’m at school, I sit in the library and look out at the castle that we call our school, and I can’t help but think it is good for “the scope of my imagination.” Part of me feels that technology has taken wholesome out of society.

However, while sitting in ICT, I have learned that technology is more than gossiping about others on Facebook or killing someone in Japan via an online video game. There are so many programs that encourage creativity and personal expression. The challenge that is now being presented to me is how will I teach with technology? How will I encourage proper and productive technology usage? Considering my views of technology, I see this as quite a daunting challenge.
