Just because kids are great at texting, instant messaging, emailing etcetera, it doesn’t mean they know how to research information or navigate websites." I completely agree, and you highlight how it is important for teachers to handle even the most basic technology instruction with care and precision. Nice commentary, Emily, and great to see you're developing that "teacher sense," even if it took until the fourth period :-). “With all the talk in the media about how tech-savvy today’s kids are, it is still really important to gauge abilities before throwing them into a technology based assignment.

You may have learned more that day than your students but in the long run your future students will benefit from having you as their teacher. I especially liked the leaving your assumptions at the door! Brilliant. This is so well written and your insights to correct the problems were great.
