Welcome to my blog!
This is very exciting for me... I have never blogged before! As you saw in my info, I teach ninth grade Biology and I am learning about new ways to incorporate technology into my classroom. I have been teaching for five years, and I am so amazed at all of the ways technology can be used to enhance learning experiences. I'm also amazed at how much I am struggling to keep up with all of it! When I enrolled in my master's program, I didn't expect to find out that I am so out of touch with the technology explosion. When did technology pass me by, and how was I so oblivious to it? Is it too late to become tech-savvy enough to use it to connect with my students? Check back for updates and answers to these questions! Oh, and don't forget to post your own experiences, please! I'd love to hear how you are using technology in your classroom and if you are also struggling to keep up with the changing world of the web.

Corrine,
ReplyDeleteYou are so young to feel out of touch with technology. I have been teaching 26 years and my cell phone doesn't even have a camera on it. I feel like a dinosaur! But all that will change after we take all these classes and learn about podcasts and wikis. I am happy when I use the Smartboard!
Finding ways to use the Smartboard effectively has been a goal of mine for the past two years, and I still think I have room to improve! This class has really opened my eyes to the benefits of web 2.0 applications -- and it's only week one!
ReplyDeleteHi Corrine. It's great to see a face to go with your name. Your blog looks great! Don't feel alone in your technology quest. I've been teaching for a long time (23 years) and it's just hard to keep up...period! I think we in this master's program are so fortunate to be learning the things we are!! I'm looking forward to the next few months!
