Teacher at School
Today I'm at the B-K school working as part of their technology team. This year's PD will focus on using tech tools in the classroom by BOTH teachers and students. This is a continuation from Scott McLeod and AEA 267's Shift Happens. We're working on blogs, wikis, delicious, and playing around on the computer with these sites.
I'm really excited about the avenue of education! The B-K School will be heading down the road of what the future WILL be like. We are so lucky to have wonderful guides along the way. Sounds too cliche, doesn't it?!? Sorry.
Our instruction staff will be divided into smaller groups facilitated by co staff worker to lead the way. My job is to be a floater from group to group to assist in any way I can. These groups will continue throughout the year.
Is your school doing anything like this?
