My old age made me want to become a summer camper. I try to keep up with technology, but it changes so fast and my time is so limited to learn it. Summer is a perfect time for me to have fun and try something new, without the pressure to meet students' needs. I'm also switching grade levels (1st to 3rd), so am excited to be able to offer more in terms of technology because of the students' advanced age/ability/exposure (I'm assuming!).
I hope to learn anything I can! I want to know about Prezi and Schoology, because my own children use it at Mounds View.
I'm fairly comfortable with basic technology, as I worked as a technical writer for a computer department 100 years ago, and I also worked as Island Lake's technology specialist for three years. I'm not afraid, but I do not know enough. Because of my current position in 1st grade, I don't use a ton WITH my students, though I do have 10 ipads for them to use. Still, they mostly use apps at this level.
