Reaction to Digital Booktalk

All of these technology related projects we are doing are both scaring and shocking me. Scaring in a bad way of course and shocking in a good way. I get so scared because the assignment descriptions ask us to do things that I am totally not used to doing. I become afraid to approach the assignents and start them because I am not used to trying new technology, I just stick to the basics. When we were challanged to use a different tool from the autobiography I hesitated once again because I didnt want to be taken from my comfort zone but I was glad that he set that challange before us. If we werent challanged I would have resulted back to the same tool because I knew it and I was used to is but I was able to test a few more tools and find out that some were not so user friendly and that some are. I like that I am more comfortable with more than one tool now and that its something I can share with my students. When I was told that we would no longer be using Powerpoint I felt like Jeff had clipped my feet from under me but with all of these new tools I feel like I can fly.
