I have grown leaps and bounds. Looking back I was not sure how I was going to implement technology into my daily teaching practice. Now, it is imperative that I use it. I mean I can do some stuff without it but why should I? I have it, I know how to have my students work with it and I am helping the environment in the process...Haha How you ask? Well I have a secret goal/experiment to cut back on my paper consumption. So at the beginning of each semester we are given a new box of paper that I believe has 8 or 10 reams of paper. Well I had 1 ream left over from last year. So I believe I am into my 2nd ream from the box. So, that means that I have used so far 2 reams and a portion of the 3rd. Those reams have been mainly used for tests, quizzes and attendance sheets. Which will be cut back with my new goal of using google forms to make my tests and quizzes.
This has all been helped by me being called to be the technology specialist at my school. Me and my team of other 8th grade teachers are facing the learning gap with 21st century ideas. We are learning new things daily and we are growing while helping our students grow. I look forward to learning how to better help my students. I want to say that I am so proud of some of my EL students. They have grown to the level that they can be removed from the EL program. We will watch them closely but I think they will be removed come January. That makes me happy. I think that it is through technology they have grown. Ok rant over.
