Isn’t it amazing how at the turn of this century we are still trying figure how to communicate! What’s interesting though is this art, music and poetry are still (in my opinion) the most effective and inspiring way of communicating our humanity. I hope that in the quest for better technology teachers don’t forget the value of the content and history of what they are teaching. Process is important but we must know how to be human. This course and the people sharing, collaborating and questioning, working face to face with technology helping us to search and learn is the new way. I can say that this experience has changed my perspective of how technology is to work in the classroom .

I couldn’t find a summative blog post, so I gathered this was supposed to be it. Our abilities to communicate do not change because we have new technologies to amplify our efforts, they change because we practice communication using multi-modal forms of representation. Art, music and poetry (and dance, sculpture, creative writing in all forms) these are all part of our ways of communicating. Different communicative needs demand different communicative responses.
