Welcome to my blog!
Hello All!
Welcome to my blog, where we will embrace the 21st century's love of technology. Today, every classroom that you encounter is chock full of technology--smartboards, computers, laptops, and iPads. Teachers are
incorporating videos into lessons, and are able to reach all learners by providing auditory, kinesthetic, and visual components to all lessons.
Technology has enabled many teachers to take learning to a whole new level. Teachers must be open to using technology, though. As Smartboards replace chalk boards, long time teachers have to get used to all of the opportunities the smartboard has to offer. Sometimes, the hardest part is not using what you already know, but learning how to effectively use the tools at hand. In short, teachers need to be able to use media and technology in addition to their teaching. There is a wealth of information on the internet. If a teacher is teaching about the Revolutionary War, there is an infinite amount of resources available in addition to books.
Technology also opens up the lines of communication between parents and the teacher. This blog, in addition to private conferences and emails, is a great way to exchange information and have questions answered. Do not hesitate to contact me! Together, we can make sure that your child's education is the best it can be!
