I was able to spend most of the institute and school improvement day with teachers and it was an excellent opportunity to spend some quality time elaborating on some of the things that I have been excited about implementing in the classroom. It is important to have some time to get excited and be able to play with new technology. Without the excitement of how fun and engaging technology can be, then we won't have the desire to want to bring it into our classrooms. It is much easier to find solutions to problems when we want to find the answer. I know that sounds simple, but it is true. It is easy to see technology as a pain when you don't want to use it in the first place. We are at a unique point in time with education. The way students are learning is changing. We need to adapt. So let's start adapting.
I know that the last two weeks have been pretty slow with updates here, but that is going to change. I'm attending the ICE (Illinois Computing Educators) Conference tomorrow and I will have plenty of great resources to share with you, so check back for updates.
