More Things on a Stick...

My experience with this site, so far, has been very positive. I think this would be a fun and interesting way to explore technology with students. Using the features on this website and incorporating them into websites or blogs would be something that I think students would have a lot of fun with. Playing the devil's advocate, I am not sure how much of this could be utilized within an urban secnodary English class. My concern is two-fold. First of all, this process has taken me a long time to become familiar with. There is so much other curriculum needed to be covered, I am skeptical about being able to devote the time needed to be successful. My second concern is that of having access to technology, including high-speed accees, both in the class as well as at home. While this concern should not keep me from teaching it, it may present a challenge in being successsful with it. I hope to be able to use this, however with limited resources, I am skeptical about its' practicality in the urban secondary English classroom. If access to current technology is an obstacle for some students, and not others, how can we truly ensure success?
