Technology is Here!

It is amazing to see how many of my fellow teachers are incorporating various technologies in class this year! Podcasts, mobile computer labs, cell phone clickers, taking tests on the computers...I am excited to see what else the year brings.

I am anxious to use my new knowledge in technology to further my students' education. I still struggle with the issue of time...when do we have enough? Even if I do not get the chance to use each new activity or technology in class this year, I do plan to incorporate them better next year.

It is also nice to see my administration trying to go as paperless as a school can. We have more recycling going on than ever, and more teachers expecting work submitted via emial. I would like to learn more about Turnitin.com so that I can start to really work with my students on how to avoid plagiarism. Again, I may not get to it this year, but the plan will be there next year!
