This has been real adventure! I have learned so much!
Besides all of the technology to which I was introduced – I had the opportunity to experiment and try it out with input and ideas from other teachers. It is rare to have a chance to talk and learn from each other. We are usually in our own little corners of the world unable to really share! This was professional development done right!!!!
This technology – clickers and document camera – has really opened our minds (my students and mine)! The anonymous answers with the clickers allows us to discuss and explore different ways of looking at things. The document camera lets us look at each other’s work without breathing down necks.
My promise to myself is to keep learning about the stuff I have to use and listening to others about new ways to use technology.

Among all of this incredible equipment that has been bestowed upon us I was surprised to find the document camera changed my delivery method the most. The level of discourse in the classroom have grown 10 fold. It would be valuable to have a booster shot of technology a couple times each year. Who do we see about this?

Reta, You are so wise. This has been a great opportunity. I also hope to continue to grow and to use new ideas.

It definitely has been an adventure. I agree, this was a great opportunity to learn and grow together as a district staff.
