Super proud that another master's course in nearly under my belt. I learned about new technology tools to use in my classroom. I learned about myself and my own fears. But most importantly, I learned to try and share! My favorite tool as of late are the Prezi.com presentations. I look forward to using those in my classroom more often. I love to see the student's responses as I click along and then we view a video from You Tube. It resonates with them and thus they are engaged. There is nothing better than when the whole class is focused and excited about learning. So far, technology has been the one tool in my back pocket that always draws them in!
My teaching practice has already changed as a result of being urged to incorporate technology into my daily lessons. It is becoming increasingly easy to find opportunities to use technology in my lessons whereas before it was almost painful. I look forward to math now because of all of the eTools that our curriculum provide. The students love it, too! I can tell because hands are shooting up with the answers. Nothing makes a teacher more proud than that.
I expect that my ease with technology will only become more evident in my instruction the more I explore on my own and with my planning. I now find myself asking, "How can technology be used with this lesson?"; when before I would think, "How can I get around having to use technology for this lesson?" I am proud of my growth and eager to explore this less-scary world of technology.
