Yeah!!! Back to blogging. I am excited that I have two more semesters to go. This semester, and this school year, I have a new principal that is very supportive. This helped me to complete the tasks that were needed to complete for this course. With conducting surveys and gathering data, I was able to see what my co-workers need to feel more comfortable with technology. Conducting a professional development was scary but I did enjoy the experience. My co-workers enjoyed it as well and they like the time to really play with technology and learn about more features of PowerPoint. I do have plans to have more professional development on other things that could be useful for teachers and students. My next one will be how to use interwrite for new teachers as well as others who need to refreshment on the tool.
I am glad that this has given me an opportunity to have a more important role within my school. Since the school did receive iPods, I was able to help the Media Specialist, my mentor, set the iPods up and assisted her with the training. I feel the door is opening for more opportunities in this field since technology is still yet to be discovered of the usefulness in the classroom. I also feel that I need to share more about what I have learned thus far to others around the county. Integrating Technology are one of the critical needs throughout the county.
