8. The purpose of these exercises is to introduce you to technology that you will be using more and more over your years in school. We encourage you to play around with this technology. Learn how it works, learn how it doesn’t work, figure out how it can enhance the information that you are being provided in the classroom, use it to explore new ways of being taught or teaching others. We are all new at this and our learning curve will be large, but we will learn together.
