I Can't Believe It's Over!

I can hardly believe we're heading into our last class with Tony! Of course, that goes along with the fact that I can't believe this school year is almost over! As we get older, life seems to go faster and faster.

This class has been such a great experience. One of the best things about it is that all of the things we've learned can continue to be enhanced as we discover more and more about the handhelds. It is obviously an area of technology that will continue to expand. I'm anxious to see what the next few years bring, especially in terms of music software.

It was so interesting to see everyone's projects. Imaginative, creative, fun - such innovative ways to capture the students' interests and to spark the desire to learn. It would be fun to be able to visit some of the classrooms next year and see some of the lessons that come out of the technology we've learned.

I look forward to being able to continue to know more about the handhelds and the continuously changing technology. My one fear is that we seem to have so little time to work on things. Tony has worked with us at Willowdale, helping us to develop class and curriculum web sites, but in between the time we spend with Tony, it's difficult to find a couple of free hours to continue. I hope that our district, and other districts, will devote time and staff development to technological advances so that we can continue to grow and improve!

Thanks, Tony, for your insight, your patience, your humor, and your leadership. It has been a great class!
