Hello everyone! This blog is being created with the intent of having an online PLC of sorts. A PLC or Professional Learning Community supports its members with open conversation to achieve a shared goal. My goal is to help other teachers feel comfortable using technology in their classroom. I use technology daily in my classroom and aspire to help my students use it as a learning resource. However, I am in no way an expert. I will post my ideas, others ideas, and helpful resources. Let's work together to use technology to engage and inspire students!

Excellent idea Katie! I found out on the last day of school this year that I'm getting a SmartBoard in my classroom and, though I am very excited, I worry that I won't use it to it's fullest potential. I'll be counting on your blog to help me out!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim! I will do my best to write about ideas I have and things I am trying in my classroom! I love to implement the Promethean software and hardware in my daily routine, instruction, or classroom management. Right now, I am reflecting on ways to put some of my anchor charts into ActivInspire so I can reuse and manipulate them at anytime. I don't have a plan yet but when I come up with one, I will blog about it! Happy Summer!

It is so great to see teachers getting excited about using new technologies. I just hope that the schools lucky enough to get this technology are also giving the training it takes to give the equipment a good test. BTW, I love your background here. How did you implement that?

Mindy,
ReplyDeleteMy district offers different levels of classes to support teachers who want to integrate technology in their classroom. So far, I have completed all that are available while many are still on waiting lists. My intent is to use this blog to support those who are taking the classes I have already completed and using the new technology I already have. I got my background from the templates available in the advanced settings.
