Anyways, I must ask myself (because Doc Waters made me) what are my beliefs regarding technology in the classroom. Are there things I'm convinced about? Are there things I'm indifferent about? Am I "anti"anything? I've got you interested now, haven't I? I think I'll format my Classroom Technology beliefs after the fashion of the Blue Comedy Tour ( http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/845218/)
I Believe . . .
- Keyboards and soft drinks don't get along so well.
I Believe . . .
- Students won't learn anything unless they really want to. If they don't like the technology or material being used, they will suffer academically.
I Believe . . .
- It's the teachers' job to make sure that last statement happens as minimally as possible.
I Believe . . .
- If a student is bored, it's not them and it's not the material--It's the Teacher.
I Believe . . .
- If Mankind was unable to survive without the cell phone, God would have created man with a Bluetooth attachment permanently fixed in his ear.
I Believe . . .

I Believe . . .
- On the 9th Day, God created PCs to keep things interesting.

I Believe . . .
- Every piece of technology out there can be used in a destructive way.
I Believe . . .
- I can teach anything to anybody.
I Believe . . .

I Believe . . .
- The Internet is a Wonderful and Scary place.
I Believe . . .

I Believe . . .
- Men who ask Women out by Text Message or Email should only do so if they have a note from their doctor stating that their tongue has been removed.
