reflection 5


                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.
