Blogging is a new experience for me, and I am delighted to be composing my first post! Initially, I was hesitant about entering the blogging world, however after reading many interesting and thoughtful educational blogs, I am eager to get started with my own. I was pleasantly surprised to find out how easy it is to get started, and how many great resources there are in this format. Below is a short video summarizing the blog of one technologically inclined teacher from New Jersey.
This is my fourth year as a high school Math teacher, and I have always aimed to incorporate effective use of computers and technology whenever I can. I am very fortunate to have a SmartBoard in my classroom, as well as access to a school laptop for my own use. I often make use of other software including Geometer's Sketchpad, Excel, Fathom, and the Virtual TI-83 (a graphing calculator on the computer). Because I have a SmartBoard, I am able to integrate many websites, games and gizmos available on the internet into my lessons.
The use of technology in the classroom is a topic that I have always been interested in, and would like to learn more about. I am excited to begin this course and to research this topic that is nudging teachers to "plug in" and learn how today's youth uses technology.
