Towards the End

I know this is so cliche but I really can't believe this is the end of the semester. Not that I am upset or nostalgic but just that I can finally catch a breath! It has definitely been a challenge and forced me out of my comfort zone. This semester made me realize how "in the dark" I am about new media and emerging technology. There are so many Web 2.0 tools out there - it could consume your life! When I was in my little bubble at school - I thought I was good with computers. In fact, I am - I am good with computers themselves but not so much with all that a computer can do. It is kind of like driving a car - I am great at driving a car, I love to drive a car. However, I have no idea how/why the car works and may not know how to maximize my car's potential. This semester has truly humbled me. There have been numerous times that my students have came to the rescue and taught me something I did not know about technology. As we are all busy working away at our final projects (despite being uncertain about when they are due...tomorrow? I jest...) I wish you all success and a happy end to a long semester! :)

(I'll never forget in middle school, someone signed everyone's yearbook with the following and I think it is appropriate, "It's been real. It's been fun. But it ain't been real fun!)
