The first cog

Ok, so maybe my first post was a bit timid. The idea was to throw the short sentence out there, then review where and how it landed. And so I did. As far as I can tell, it landed exactly where it was supposed to. How it all works is amazing.

Reflecting on my experience thus far in EDCI 505-Introduction to the Principles of Instructional Technology, I must say, I am astounded. I am most astounded by the vastness. The sheer vastness of information and resources available to today's teachers and students.

The first few assignments (Pageflakes and Newsletters) have definitely opened my eyes to the amount of information that we as teachers and future teachers must process, manage, organize, and professionally present to our students.

The sorting of the material itself, if done properly, is incredibly time consuming. I must admit that at times I have had to cut myself off and say, "Jodi, this is good, you have enough information, you must stop now." With so much information available it seems there are endless possibilities for improvement upon any given idea or presentation.
