Misconceptions 1. I hate technology. I don't understand why you have to make things complicated. I believe kids learn best with chalk and board. Why would I have to care about technologies? 2. Why would I learn all these technologies if they will become outdated a few years later?

3. I am an early childhood major. Kids are not gonna use these tools that you teach. Why do I have to learn then? 4. I'd like to keep my use of social technologies strictly for social purposes. Why would I have to repurpose into something else? 5. In my school district, all these social tools are banned from classroom, why do I have to learn them?

This class is about change and transformation. Rethink everything. Get out of your comfort zone.

Expectations Lots of “my program broke down” times Lots of “forget to save” times Lots of “it just disappeared” times Lots of “it just didn’t work” times Lots of “I don’t know what you’re saying” times Lots of “ooops” Lots of “ask for extension” times Lots of resubmissions

Complains I hate the online format of this class. I feel like I learned nothing. Can we change this format? I learn all of these tools by watching YouTube videos and tutorials. Why would I need you as as instructor?

An online class is all about self-regulation.
