"...we must stop disparaging digital prowess just because some of us over 40 don’t happen to possess it."

I chose this quote because I felt it was talking directly to me. When I graduated from high school many, many years ago computers were just things to play games on. I failed to keep up with the changing times and now I struggle trying to figure things out. I am amazed at what my kids and fellow classmates can do with the technology that is available. I wish a hundred times over I would have learned technology as it evolved. I have a fear of clicking and pushing buttons that I am trying hard to overcome.
I want to encourage my future students to take advantage of the resources they have at their fingertips. Literally. Technology can only enhance their learning experiences. The image that I found is how I view technology today.
