Teaching an old dog

First, let me get this out in the open. I am 52 years old and have been a school teacher for 15 years. Next, I know from experience that teachers can be the worst students imaginable (remember your teacher ed classes?). So I post the following observation not as whining, but as a way of understanding.
I am finding that navigating the links to the required content for this class is like reading a fascinating but complex book while the television is turned to the history channel at the same time that NPR is featuring a "driveway moment" story on the radio. It gets just down right hard to focus! Too much interesting stuff. Our high school has a 1-1 laptop program and it is easy to see how kids are beginning to learn in a radically different way than I did. Participating in this class is an excellent opportunity to reframe not only my teaching (which I strive to do continually) but also how I learn. Hopefully, you can teach an old dog.
