Learning Curve

Posted by susankmiller on 27th July 2007

So…I’ve waited over a month to write another post to my blog. And there’s a reason. I’m frustrated with the technology, and I’m realizing how overwhelming it is to learn something new when you’re behind the curve. There are so many potential things I can do with my blog that my mind is spinning. I start looking at other blogs, widgets, and tools…and then I start thinking about the dozen things I need to do with my blog in order for it to even be functional…and then I give up and do something else.

Perhaps this is a good lesson for me as a teacher. Technology can be exciting and fun, but it can also be overwhelming. I know that in my head, but it’s good for me to be reminded by immersion.

So…if there’s anybody out there who actually read my first blog post (Shelley?), I’ll try to pick up the pace a bit. And I promise to work on cleaning up my sidebar.
