I came into this class with an open mind and nervous energy.
I knew this was a tech class and my school doesn’t really have the necessary
resources to enable tech in my class. Early in the week we discussed how some
teachers are able to use their own personal devices in their classrooms, but I
don’t have any, I mean I still use a flip phone. So after the first day I had
some trepidation over how I was going to get through the week and what I’d actually
learn.
As the
week progressed two things put me at ease. Using technology extends beyond just
using devices and beyond what we do with our students’ in the classroom.
Technology can help with my professional growth, organization, communication
with students, parents, and community and it can help me work more efficiently
and save some precious time.
In
another month school starts and I plan on creating class blogs for each of my
classes. I also want to try to “flip” a few units in each class. I’ll continue to
use some of the resources introduced over the course of this class for
inspiration for developing engaging lessons.
