1. What are your favorite tools you now have in your personal technology toolbox? Briefly describe a particular activity that you will plan for your students using at least one of these new tools.
I enjoyed the digital storytelling tool. I think the students could use this tool to write class stories about projects or field trips we do during the school year. I think I could use this to model the project to the kids, and have them work in groups to tell a story, perhaps about their impressions about our new school building.
2. How have you transfomed your thinking about the learning that will take place in your classroom?
I think that the learning will be in many varied forms this year. We will have to balance the students' technology learning with their composition practice and story writing for the TAKS test, since many of the apps didn't address composition writing.
3. Were there any unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
There is a lot to learn in technology, and a lot that our students will be expected to know in their learning for the rest of their education.
