As the school year winds down, I'm starting up this new learning opportunity. I thought the Summer Camp 2.0 class sounded like an applicable, interesting, and fun undertaking this summer.
While I consider myself familiar and somewhat savvy with a variety of technologies, I haven't had the time or opportunity to learn some of these tools that could be applied in my teaching. I hope to learn about a variety of different things that I could use in my class next year to engage students and (hopefully) have them create and interact with as well.
I am quite comfortable, on a surface level, with different technology. I am comfortable with computers and internet programs, can upload photos and save things, and feel I do a decent job of incorporating things into my daily life and classroom teaching. I've loved having the SmartBoard in my class as an interactive tool. I'm hoping that by learning some additional programs, coupled with the SmartBoard interactivity, my classroom and students will be further engaged.
Welcome! You bring a lot of experience. I promise you will learn some new things and feel motivated to try some new tools in the fall.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you are not completed with the whole course?! I wouldn't have thought a new baby would have been a deterrent for you!! Congratulations. She is SO adorable. I haven't seen Madox for so long...when did he get blonde hair? I swear is was brown last spring. We will be setting up some coffee dates to work on our site. Maybe we can see the baby!
ReplyDeleteYou're the overachiever on this one! Give me a few weeks to catch up to you - I gotta work on this between newborn naps, feeding, diapers, and chasing a 2 year old!
