Tribute to Technology

Now I don't know if I have stated this before but my wife is Canadian and 

being so far away from her home country, family and many friends she

sometimes has a hard time. Since taking this ICT course it has got me thinking

We were extra grateful for technology as it bridges the gap between here and her homeland.  I know people complain about computers screwing up, or the anti-social robotic side of technology...but it does make our lives easier sometimes and today was one of those days. 

Along that theme, she also recently three-way skyped with her sisters connecting Canada, Australia and Hungary together in one sisterly reunion. So if I was drinking a beer I would raise my glass and say Thank you technology. 

Reflecting on how technology is making my personal life easier and more enriching. I am sure that I can carry that over into my classroom by embracing ICT's
