Lessons Learned


I am amazed at all the new technology tools that I have in my arsenal after only five weeks!  My attitude has always been positive in all aspects of my life.  However, it was tested during these past five weeks.  I found myself on an educational roller coaster.  One moment I would be riding high on the excitement of new found information and the next I would be a bit low with the amount of work that needed to be covered.  I am convinced more now than ever that technology integration must be put at the forefront in order for our students to compete globally.  Knowledge of Web 2.0 Tools is no longer adequate; our students must know how to use them in their daily lives prior to heading off to college.  It is my mission to make each teacher understand that technology integration is essential to all lessons and not just a “technology” course.  Students must see the teacher modeling the use of these tools to fully understand their capabilities and incorporate them into their own lives.
