Astrology is NOT Astronomy.

I like to look at the stars, and I like to find constellations. I might be guilty of being that boring guy pointing stars out to the girls at bon-fire parties away from the city lights in my "younger" days. I haven't, that is until last Tuesday, found a good software that could (or could have) helped me identify information about constellations. I was on my own. Then when we talked about TPAC, and combining technology knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and content knowledge and use the star sighting software in the classroom, my world opened up. That is the technology we are going to use for our assignment.

I've always seen my "classroom of the future" uses of technology limited to a projector, powerpoints, music, and maybe a Nintendo Wii. With the implication of the technologies that we talked about in class my vision of my "classroom of the future" looks more like "classroom of yester...day." My point is that there aren't just these technologies this class has opened my eyes to. There are more. And when I talk about my experiences at BYU in 25-30 years, I'll be sitting in a futuristic rocking chair, wearing a silvery shirt, wearing super-tinted sunglasses (from the radiation) and I'll chuckle that I thought it was awesome I could hook my computer up to a microscope.
