Description
I am a passionate backpacker--I love the mountains, the magnificent vistas, the solitude, and the vibrant alpine wildflower meadows. Until recently, I lugged along my "antique" film camera to record the magical moments of my expeditions. However, I grew tired of perpetually changing clunky film canisters and being continually frustrated at not being able to "erase" bad pictures; once you've snapped a photograph with a conventional camera, it's yours. So, after extensive online research, I purchased a superb, state-of-the-art, 8-megapixel digital camera. This camera allows me to capture truly spectacular images that can be perfected with complex imaging software. If I take a bad shot (they tend to outnumber the good ones by a healthy margin), I can easily delete it or fix it. I can share my photographs with friends and family almost instantly and can even create an online travel journal to share my trip with the world. In addition to my new camera, I own a laptop, a desktop computer, a PDA, and several graphing calculators. I am, by almost anyone's standards, a devout "techie." I teach at a school that is a technology lover's dream; I have every digital teaching device imaginable. While I am grateful to my school and to its benefactors for providing these tools, they would be little more than instructional ornaments if I hadn't taken the time to first develop and refine my repertoire of teaching skills. Fortunately, my school has not allowed the lure of digital gear to divert its attention from what is of primary significance ... the art of teaching.
