A main goal of educators is to instill in students the desire for knowledge and the motivation to keep exploring new ideas and challenges long after school days are through - in other words, to become lifelong learners. How appropriate that I, as a retired teacher with 28 years in the field of elementary education, am now involved in lifelong learning about such things as Blogs, Flikrs, Wikis, and various other terms that are as foreign to me as words on a printed page were to my first-graders each September. Hopefully, it will be an enjoyable experience. Maybe I'll be calling on some of those former students, now tech-savvy teens, for help!!
