Reading about the fact that someone may be FOB (fresh off the boat) came as quite a shock to me. I never really thought that there were actual people out there that didn’t know about computers, even rudimentary knowledge. I find it refreshing that someone who has never really wanted to have contact with a computer to create, is now attempting to covert to becoming an immigrant. I agree that “this digital technology will act as an energy booster for my students.” That technology is the way to go in the future classrooms as well as the present classrooms. That some people will need to take more time to come into this and that it will be a hard step. I find it brave and encouraging that change is coming to the non native generations.

It’s always nice to see someone is willing to offer a helping hand, as Kayla’s picture suggested. I was so keen to put my minimum of Digital Knowledge into practice during this practicum, what shock me the most is that all of suddent I was told by my supervisor and other teachers at my practicum school that I am the computer expert, because there is only one interactive white board at school, and non one has been using it. The room is often ocupied for other purpose other than using the technology. Can you imagine the GAP between the majority of our existing teachers and our students?
