Day 4: Frustration and Gary

It is 11:35 p.m. and I have just returned from our daily session. This day, from a 'Lego" standpoint, has been an absolute failure. I am extremely disappointed that I was unable to positively contribute to our 'Ninja Lego Robot'. I never played with legos growing up and have no programming/engineering skills. I wish this orientation could have included sports, anything involving teaching, or something in my 'wheel-house'. Instead my group was lucky that Cramer broke the tower and motivated Bill to build us a "Scissor-Rise".

While the day may have seemed like a disaster (at least from the 'Lego" perspective as previously stated), I am very happy that Gary is going to be one of our professors. His talk was the first that I really connected to because he talked about the role of technology in the classroom. One of the reasons I enrolled into this Masters program is because I want to be able to learn and utilize learning technologies to affect change in the classroom. I believe that Gary and his course will help!!

I leave tomorrow with more questions and worries then answers. Step-by-step!
