Spring Musings

Well, we've been a part of this Tech Connections project since last August. We've been busy in our classrooms, teaching... Let's reflect on what has happened this year. Any stories of students' use of technologies? Any great learning experiences facilitated by technologies? In short, what has Tech Connections meant to your classroom, your teaching, or students' learning? Please share from your heart. :)

    As I reflect on the value of technology in my classroom this year, I must recall in previous years no internet access, 2 of 3 computers that were not functional, and no working printer. Having the knowledge to present powerpoint, documents on Word, DVDs, and media online through the ceiling-mounted projector, have been powerful visual presentations. As I had heard from other FCS teachers previously, who had a 24 laptop cart in the classroom, I, too, have been unable to utilize it this year. The computer tech worked on them for 2 days this week, he's coming back on Monday to verify their good working order. My goal at this point is that they be fully functional for next year. My confidence with technology has grown tremendously. In my usage of computers in some of the lessons this year, I witnessed the ease that students used computers. I have no doubt that these opportunities have enhanced student confidence also. I have thoughts of using my classroom laptops this
    Spring! Janet
