Authentic Integration

My biggest concern as we learn about wiki spaces, podcasting etc...is the authentic integration of these technologies into the planning, teaching, learning paradigm. It is possibly just a personal concern however I worry frequently about such things. I am just now getting to the point where the technologies presented last year are becoming comfortable in their integration into the classroom in a manner that is authentic to both myself as the instructor and the children as the receivers of instruction. While I understand that as we introduce these new ideas into the classroom there will be that inital excitement about something new, however the projects that introduce the children to the new presentation format are and should be based on solid instruction and thoughtful naturalistic integration of the new tools as opposed to doing the project for the sake of the new technology.
