Just a mere five weeks ago, I walked into a computer classroom, seeing some familiar faces, but even more unknown ones. It was our first and only physical meeting. After the evening ended, communication would be through email, chat, WebEx, telephone, WiZiQ, Skype, notes in GoogleDocs... We would work independently, and in groups, to attain one common goal... understand the use of effective technology in developing literacy of our students (both present and future). We would explore the technologies our professor provided, but more importantly, we would share technologies we found, through curiosity, frustration, or just pure luck. We would encourage, suggest, and reflect, knowing in the end that our words could help each of us to become better teachers, and learners. Most of us walked away from our first meeting with a big "What?" above our heads. However, after five intense weeks, we all walked away from our last meeting (well, left our computers) with a huge "WOW!"
