My final couse post....first I must say this term has pushed me to the limit. We had so much to do, it was terribly hard to balance work, home, and classes. The time seemed to fly by, especially when you feel like you could never stay ahead of the work or that you would never catch up. In regards to technology and teaching the ojibwe langauage I think one benefit is that we have many more resources through the means of technology, and that those resources will continue to improve and grow. Sadly, our first language speakers are going to be less and we will need to rely more and more "different" ways of teaching and learning. A potential drawback will be that the essence of the language is passed on by living it the langauage and culture are intertwined. Technology more than likely will not be able to capture the humanistic side as we teach with technology. I learned that there are many different/new resources available especially the internet all of the language learning websites were exciting.
