I am excited about all the new tools we will learn to benefit students, teachers and ourselves.

I am anxious about the time and the learning curve. -Travis Rush

1. I'm excited about becoming more proficient with certain on-line tools and thinking of new ways to incorporate technology into my instruction 2. I am anxious about spending so much time staring at a screen, since I generally try to avoid that in my everyday life (and especially when I'm on summer vacation). I am also anxious about not mastering new tools quickly and wanting to toss my computer out the window. Can you tell it's time for me to go home? - Sarah

1) I'm excited about exposure to the various tools and their practical applications in a library program.

2) I'm a little anxious about making sure I complete everything in a timely manner.

1. I'm excited about experimenting with new tech resources within our safe and supporting cohort! ;)

2. I'm anxious about being able to process so much information and apply it to the synthesis paper and presentation on Friday.

Love, Tracy

I am excited to learn about so many different ways that technology can be used to share information. I am anxious that my own lack of technical savvy may make these tools a huge time investment. I have the time now but that is not always the case.- Kevin

I'm excited about all the apps we're going to learn and get to try. I lack confidence in my tech abilities and that makes me nervous. Shelly

I'm excited about learning a lot of new resources that I can share with students and teachers. I'm nervous about the same thing. I've used quite a bit of instructional technology in the past, but sometimes I can get really frustrated and want to give up when things aren't easy to learn/navigate. - Joy

1. I am excited about learning a lot of tech resources. 2. I am anxious about learning a lot of tech resources. I am also anxious about completing everything in a timely manner.

Hi all! My brain was so full last night, but I echo what Tracy said about being able to process the info. I am really excited for the moment when all this feels normal. Also, I am really excited about finding tech that helps me to do the tech and info literacy teaching that I am so looking forward to. --Leighanne
