What I have learned
I am still overwhelmed with the amount of information presented in this class. I hope to keep MRod's Classroom going with the other teachers at AHS that took this class. I think delicious is a great tool because I can easily access their blogs all at the same time. I would also like to get Mr. Spencer started on a blog for the Computer Applications 1 class this year. I have some great ideas on how to get the students on line to meet the 20 hour requirement. I would like to have the resources from this class available to me in the form of the class so I can go back and review the areas as I start to incorporate web 2.0 in my lesson plans. I found that, like every professional development, there was too much information presented too quickly. I would like to go back and access the information as I need it so I can master it. I have three preps so it is difficult to rewrite every lesson for each class at the same time. I have the technology available in my classroom and I hope to use it more effectively this coming year.

Baby steps! Try ONE thing in ONE class (your best class if you want my honest opinion) and build from there. "Rome wasn't built in a day" certainly applies to transforming your classroom with technology.
ReplyDeleteI'm very excited about many of the resources for my Business class which is a Career and Technical Education class. There are many state requirements which involve technology and I had no idea how to bring that information to the students until I took this class. Thanks for all of your help. I think I will try to make paper copies of the the 23 things so I can have the web addresses available when I need them and add them to my delicious account when I find out which ones are the best for my needs. I'm looking forward to blogging with the other teachers in my building to exchange ideas and hopefully incorporate more math, science, social studies and english into my business curriculum.
ReplyDeleteBaby Steps. It reminds me of the movie "What About Bob" with Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfus. Great movie and funny too. I digress, your plan will work but as Jim said don't do too much at one time.
