I believe the I Generation is everyone that is able to keep up with the new technology trends and is able to use them with ease. I personally think I am surviving in the I Generation, I don't consider myself saavy, but I am definetely not drowning. I like to learn what is new and apply it to my daily life as well as to bring it to my classroom when suitable. I learn a lot from my students and my own children and that is an advantage for some of us or at least it has been for me.

In past years I had integrated technology but not to the extent that we have been taught. We need to completely understand the web tools in order to have successful lessons with our students. Lets not just imply that because we use the tools we have learned that that it self makes it higher order. We need to thoughtfully plan out our lesson and the integration of the most suitable web 2.0 tool for the assignment. MTT program has definitely given me a different persepctive in what technology in our classroom should look like.

Thanks Shannon for sharing this site with us. I was particularly impressed by a group of students that won the Google Science Fair. These three young ladies started their projects based on curiosity on a topic that was close to them. It let them to discover many things that for their age is far beyond excellent. This is the sense of inquiry that I would love for all of my students to possess. The last student that was presented in the video came up with a computer software that would create a lung function report. I loved how she integrated technology in such a high level !
