Technology in the Education Arena

I’ve been keeping busy with the new year.  On top of working at a new job in a new school district, I have enrolled in a couple Masters courses and have taken on the task of working in Second Life as a Guide for the Discovery Educator Network. I’ve been trying to work prior to the weekly sessions held at the DEN every Wednesday night at 8:00 (Eastern time).

Last week, a “Book Talk” was held. We discussed the book, The Kids are Alright: How the Gamer Generation is Changing the Workplace by John Beck. One of the focuses in the book is on the traits of these gamers. It was an interesting session and, even though I didn’t read the book, I got a lot out of the session and plan on reading the book.

Stop by the DEN — tomorrow will be another day and another session I am looking forward to.
