Hi everyone,
Since my first go around with 23 things I have had a few more experiences with blogging. I've seen it can be used for many things: teachers using it as an instructional tool where students give feed back, as a way to communicate with people that have common interests, as a sounding board for whatever a person wants to rant about, and the many other endless possibilities people blog for. Most recently my wife got a facebook account and we have made connections with people we have not heard or seen since our high school and college days. It's great to see how their lives have changed since the school years. As an educator I sometimes worry that our students are to attached to all the new technologies thats out there. It seems the days of interacting with people face to face in person is becoming less & less. I feel that technology is great and I find it really engages the students in the classroom and out of it. My wife and I discuss technologies pros and cons once and a while. She sees it evolving all the time in the medical field. The other day we were discussing the new technologies that they use in the open heart unit where she works and I questioned her about heart surgies with robotics. She asked, " Would you your chest cracked open and face a longer recovery or have a robot do it without cracking it open?" I guess she's made a good point on how technology has helped in the medical field.

I can't even begin to imagine the medical miracles we take for granted thanks to technology! It's nice that you and your wife can compare notes on the latest and greatest innovations in your professions. I think being able to connect is important for educators and physicians. We can learn so much from each other and not have to reinvent the wheel. Just imagine the medical research that can be accessed and shared from around the world!
