Resolutions Gong Awry

Yes, New Year's my resolutions were to bolgg every week, learn one of my 23 things each week and be a good role model for the other members of this project. So here it is the 3rd week of January and this is my first blog. Is email the technology that is getting me down so I hardly have time for anything else? Is it having so little time to spend on each thing that I have to go back to relearn what I did the last time? Is there a little piece of my DNA that is resistant to technology or at least the speed of change of this technology? Who has the answers to those questions? I know: Ann and Karen!!!! I am looking forward to learning how wikis work and how I could use them with my colleagues. I participated in one at AASL but then was getting so many emails when someone updated the wiki that it was driving me a little mad. How do we control that one?
I am trying to get my mind around all of these questions so that I can help teachers and media specialists who are even more overwhelmed. Dealing with this is more of a struggle than it should be. We need some good strategies to share with digital immigrants as to how they pick and choose what to use and still reap the richness of what technology has to offer.
