A walk in the meadow

There is so so SO much to choose from technology wise. I'm overwhelmed by the vast array of options. Options to which I am oblivious. EVERY class demonstration opens my eyes to how much I do NOT know! This is the 1st 'book' I've ever made online and I really enjoyed the process. I am forever amazed at how little I am actually aware of that is available for use on this thing we call the web. I'm so under-utilizing the 'WWW'! My mind is turning at how many ways I can integrate technology into a field that under-appreciates its use. My group-mates are much more accomplished than I in this technology savvy-ness. So much of my field is 'hands on' and the learning of the techniques involved in making a dental hygienist competent enough to treat the public; little attention is paid to bringing in new ways to teach the needed lessons. I've been told that a new graduate is 'competent'; after 3 years one is considered 'proficient'; and at 10 yrs can be considered an 'expert' in their field. I'm not even feeling competent when it comes to the use of technology. http://storybird.com/books/what-can-you-find-in-the-meadow-a-story-for-friend/
