Response to Blog

I have some thoughts on the "Transform the instructor first" post, along with the comments made on the Dangerously Irrelevent blog http://www.dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2010/01/transform-the-instructors-first.html. I think the topic is quite thought provoking. If the teachers themselves are not experiencing the new technology then it is obviously not going to be used while they teach, nor will they be able to pass it along to their students. I think that this CEP class is going to help a lot with my own personal technology experience but also seems to be teaching me ways in which I will be able to continue my knowledge of such topics long after the class is over. Someone also commented on the classes we take to obtain our teaching degree and how there doesn't seem to be much of an attempt to teach us these tools before hand. If I do end up gaining as much from this class as I think I'm going to, I don't see why this class wouldn't be highly recommended/required to all education student.
