I was given the opportunity to review my game plan and explore the strategies that I will need for seamlessly integrating technology. We are currently on summer break and I have not been able to take many steps so far. However, I do have a school meeting this week and plan to inform the principal that I would like to join our technology team! I have also started to think about how I can carry out my game plan and pull all of my ideas together!
I will need a lot of resources to carry out my plan. Unfortunately, most of the resources that I need are not available. Digital Recording equipment, computers, a computer hooked up to a TV, and a classroom blog are all resources that I do have available and will need to carry out my plan.
I need additional information about how to incorporate new technology into my classroom. I plan on using the internet, other teachers and my Walden classes to get these ideas. I believe that observation of other teachers who seamlessly integrate technology will be the best way to obtain new information. I hope that when school begins, in August, I will begin to strengthen my confidence and proficiency in technology!

Megan,
ReplyDeleteGet with those other teachers to find out what technologies are being used. Completely unrelated to technology, I jointed a guided math discussion group because I was interested in the topic. I was surprised to see how many teachers took part in the discussion-- my Blackberry would fill up with emails. I urge you to find a technology discussion board that is active and take part in it. One discussion board I found has not been active in a while but maybe you can change that. The link is: http://www.enotes.com/technology-in-the-classroom/group/discuss
Maybe this will help.
