Joining the old with the new...

I always have to remind myself that when I experience new learning that I do not have to discard all the old.  I have to find ways to incorporate the old and new into something different.  For example today I learned how to upload Smartboard recordings into Google Sites.  I have used Smartboard recorder for a few years now, but now I have a new way in which to think about it as a communication tool.  I can have students demonstrate their understanding of a concept through Smartboard recorder and then save it to a Google document and embed the document into student portfolios as evidence for learning!  I look forward to merging these to tools as I become more digitally literate!
