Mrs. Loder's Blog from MMS http://lloder.edublogs.org Another excellent Edublogs.org weblog Thu, 19 Jun 2008 03:09:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 en hourly 1 Letters from Lizz http://lloder.edublogs.org/2008/06/18/letters-from-lizz/ http://lloder.edublogs.org/2008/06/18/letters-from-lizz/#comments Thu, 19 Jun 2008 03:07:29 +0000 lloder http://lloder.edublogs.org/?p=4 This week I have been given a wonderful opportunity.  Calling myself a Luddite with a certain measure of pride when it came to computer use,  I grudgingly allowed myself to be enrolled in a summer program called Summercore. Despite my best efforts, I found myself not only learning computer skills but enjoying the process along the way.  I am at the very end of the generation known as Baby Boomers, coming of age in the days of Smith-Corona and IBM Selectric typewriters. I have watched as my college aged children passed me by in the realm of technology, masking my embarrassment with false pride.

Now, after just three days, I feel competent and close to confident, preparing a PowerPoint. I understand how to prepare an Excel spreadsheet and I have a passing familiarity with many more computer applications. 

I look forward to translating this into my work in the classroom and the community that is Room 100.
