Today, I taught a class to embed sound into a powerpoint. Again, I am suppose to marvel at how technologically savvy our students are today, yet I still find it unfathomable that they are unable to do something basic as this. I believe, my theory only, that this generation is savvy when it comes to the communication, gaming, and socializing aspects, but when it deals with having to go outside their zones, they rely on good old teaching to learn how to do something instead of delving into itself. I know that this is a stereotype, but I did not create the stereotype that this generation has technical moxie, either. The web page introduction is continuing as more and more teachers are complying with the edict (?). This has some negativism with me because teachers have been bombarded with many new initiatives, and this is just something else coming down the proverbial highway. I am making it painless as possible. TTWF tomorrow...........flick
