 * What I'd like to learn or get out of this course:**


 * I would like to learn about the current technologies that are being used in the classroom. I want to have idea on what teaching methods will work best for this current generation that fills our classrooms and for the genration of kids taht has not even reached a formal classroom setting.**
 * I see myself going back to the high school math classroom in the next 5 to 10 years and I am hoping that this course can give me some ideas on what technologies I should be prepared to use when I return.**
 * I also want to be able to keep up with my husband and children and their use of technology --especially when it comes to communication. My husband is a few years older than I am but he is definately a gamer. He absolutely LOVES technology and he sell technology --mainly severs right now --to big businesses so he is always getting to play with new toys in his job. I try to pretend that I am a gamer but I am really a boomer at heart. I have been feeling that I cannot even keep up communicating with my mommy friends if I don't change some of the ways that I communicate on a regular basis.**
