What are your Technology Fears?

I am mostly concerned with whether or not these tools are going to be worth the time to use and actually how helpful they will be to my students. Like Scott mentioned at the beginning of class, this should be used to possibly replace something that we do in the classroom and not be another thing added on top of what we already do. I want this to be helpful and not another hassel.

What are your expectations for this class, and what do you really want to take back to your classrooms?

I would like my kids to be able to go back and access information when they are confused on homework, lab reports or are studying for a test. It would be nice to be able to post information that all my kids can see rather than just responding to one kid at a time. I would also like to be able to use animations that I found on the web to help explain complex biological processes. I don't know if I could also some way post note sessions on-line so the kids can go back and hear me talk through notes while look at what they have written down in class. However, I am fearful that setting something like that up will take a lot of time in class.
