Technophobic? Sorry About That

I love how some people are so concerned about civil liberties, privacy rights, and individuality while posting everything about themselves on FaceBook, MySpace (so middle school, I know), flickr, Twitter, etc.  Many people are afraid of technology.  I understand that fear, while I also embrace as much technology as I can afford.  But we have to accept how much the computer and internet has permeated our society, to the point of it becoming required for eevrday activities.  I'll show you an episode of Dilbert (VERY short-lived cartoon from many years ago) taht talks about this issue.  Confront your fear(s) and accept what must be done - doing much of your work on a computer.  Follow my Google Calendar, the Moodle, the blog, and turn in your essay to turnitin.  I am trying to streamline everything as much as possible - and the more I work on it, the more Google and Moodle will become interconnected for my classroom.  I'll post more later...
