Past, Present and Future

So far in DVTech Pro, I have to say that I have experienced many successes. First and foremost is the fact that I have managed to keep most of my usernames and passwords in the front of my mind so that I may log into all the places we go. I am also happy with the fact that I have learned to do so many new things in an electronic manner. My biggest challenge so far, and one that I am still struggling with, clearly more so today simply keeping up. I am doing "ok" but I would like to do better. Wishes...I wish I had a better idea of how to use more of what I learn in my 5th grade class for my kiddos.

What's my password?

While I learned quite a bit today, I also experienced many frustrations. I have so many emails to remember now, and so many passwords....Also, United Streaming says I don't exist. Add this to my list of things to do.

I plan on using or creating a new Rubric before we meet again. They are amazing tools to use, just because they provide students, as well as teachers, with set expectations and instructions for obtaining a desired grade.

Thought for the day...sorry, suffering from information overload. I see to be braindead.

Early Saturdays!!!

Another Saturday up early, and it went much better today. Unfortunately, years of working nights in health care have my body fighting this like no other. It is worth it though. Working on a campus that has never had a great deal of technology for the students, it is going to be nice to be able to put something in my classroom for the kids to use. So excited to get it done :) I have also considered myself to be fairly tech savy, but I am learning so many new things in here, i now realize that I didn't know as much as I thought I did. I am excited to get in here every week and learn more.
