MIT reflection-Marcia Trujillo

Because of the technology I have learned to use, my students communicate their thinking more confidently and have better ways to show evidence of their problem-solving strategies and writing pieces. I am pleased that I have kept up with technological advances and have shared them with my students.

The best practices I’ve learned through MIT helps me focus on the important concepts I should be teaching and helps me teach smarter. Several suggestions from colleagues have saved me hours of frustration.

Looking back, I think it might have been helpful if homework was assigned to teachers in the same building and that our students worked together to complete a partner project for one of the assignments. However, on the other hand, maybe it is that I feel more confident to let kids experiment with the technology. Maybe this willingness is more an indicator of how far I’ve come.

Reta and I plan to partner our kids together to create voice threads on a curriculum topic.
