I've been away from the classroom for 18 years, but I'm returning this fall. Technology has improved education in so many ways since I left teaching; I was still using an overhead projector in the year 2000! I am enjoying getting to know Gmail. I had no idea that it can do so much more than my Outlook program. When I return to the classroom, I especially look forward to creating groups so that I can communicate with students and parents. I used to try sending letters home to alert parents to upcoming units and projects, but this will make communication so much easier.
As a foreign language teacher, I would also love to utilize the automatic translation tool to allow my students to communicate with pen pals in other countries.
