Teaching+With+Technology+-+Reflection+Week+2

This week we began the group process of developing a lesson that would address a particular subject with the use of technology. The collaborative process was a new one to me being that I've never used Google Docs before and I was now getting an opportunity to not only see how it worked but to also participate in a real time group effort using this tool. I found the process to be fun and it is something that I will use within my classroom in the future. The planning session that my group had was precise, efficient and productive as all the participants gave their input as to how we could develop this lesson. The readings for this week were very interesting to me as they sought to balance the pros and cons of using technology. Stan Lee had a line in a Spider-man comic that says "with great power comes great responsibility" and in using technology we must adhere to the same warning. If we put the cart before horse meaning if we seek to acquire technology before looking at how we will use it, then we open up ourselves to the hindering effects of technology.
