I wish that I could say that I have been able to use my Fall Break to its fullest "break" potential. I wish that. As it is, I have been working on things around the house, trying to get caught up on grad school, and trying to get plans in order for the rest of the semester.
It seems that there is so much busyness in our lives today, that our "breaks" are filled with more to-do lists than our regular work days. I have caught myself, on more than one occasion thinking, "Man, I can't wait to get back to work so I can have a break." Of course, I don't really mean that, but it seems like a good alternative at the time.
One thing has made this busy week worthwhile though, my son. I have gotten to stay home and give his regular caregiver the week off. It has been so cool to see all the things he is learning and doing. He just turned 17-months this past weekend and the world is still a new place to him. Everyday he is going somewhere and doing something that he has never seen or done before. I look at him with wonder about how he must be processing things. I see his amazement at simple things, like a balloon, or as he says, a "ba-woo". I envy him.
I know this may not seem like a very pertinent blog posting for a Technology in Education class, but I would disagree wholeheartedly. This technology, which is supposed to make our lives easier and make teaching easier, also does something else... it captures moments.
