Observing Technology in the Classroom

I was looking at the hours I spent observing my colleagues and I was thinking about how fortunate we are in our school district to have access to so much technology. I was also thinking how open minded so many of my colleagues are about technology. All of my colleagues use their laptops and Elmos (document cameras) and many use their Smart Boards on a daily basis. Our technology teachers provide video announcements every day, which the kids love.

 I hope to share some of my new found knowledge with my colleagues!

Implementing Technology

 I thought I would share how impressed I was by everyone’s lessons last weekend. It was great to be reminded how there are endless possibilities when it comes to implementing technology into our lessons. It was great to see a combination of uses, including Smart Board, free websites, registered applications, etc. In every course I have ever taken, I have always found that I learn the most when my colleagues and I teach each other – no offense to you, Pete!
