Station Identification Break

We take a pause here in the midst of 23 things for a personal update.  Since August of this year, I have learned how to use a Macbook (well, I had one day of training, and I'm not that sure what all I remember from it, but if I had one in my hands, I could poke around and figure my way through some of it now--it's been about 10 years since I have had a Mac in my classroom, and boy, they are waaaaaay different now!), I have 11 itouches being used in my classroom, so that has involved learning about different apps, I have learned how to use a "thumbtack microphone" and use the italk lite app for my kiddos to make podcasts (which I highly reccommend!  It is VERY easy to use!), I have started a classroom Wiki, and have had to learn about Google Docs because the mini ASUS we have in our classrooms don't have Microsoft Office, and I also have a flip camera to use to document what my kids are doing with these items we got for a grant.  Pile that ontop of these 23 things...I have thought several times that my head is going to explode from all of this technology I am having thrust upon me.  Now to top it off, I am learning how to work/use the light board at church (Don't fool around with #21 on the board---the preacher doesn't like you to play with the baptistry lights during his sermon....ooops.).  But now I am feeling so confident, that I have gone out and gotten a 16 GB ipod.  Tonight I played on itunes and used a gift card to download some items from the itunes store, including the TV show "It's a Mystery, Charlie Brown".  That is a first.  I have had an ipod for a couple of years now, but have only had my own music loaded onto it.  I'm playing in the big time now!!  What's next?  A Kindle? 

I had no clue as to how much I didn't know.  Wait, I still don't know how much I don't know, but I sure know a lot more now than I did 4 months ago.
