After our first class last night, I'm really looking forward to learn new ways I can integrate technology into my classroom. I'm currently working as a Teacher Assistant in a first grade classroom at Greens Farms Academy in Westport, CT. During our week of orientation/training, we sat through a 5 hour extensive SmartBoard session. I was amazed by all the things the SmartBoard could do and add to a classroom. Whether it be something as simple as the morning meeting message, or as complex as a quiz given to the entire class, I know the SmartBoard will be extremely useful and my students will love it. I think it's wonderful to incorporate technology at a young age, exposing them to the tools and terms, in hopes of making them feel comfortable so early on in their life.
How tech savvy do I think I am? In true teacher fashion, I would probably give myself a grade of a B. I know enough to "use" the programs from Microsoft Office and enjoy exploring creative programs such as PhotoShop, etc. I'm comfortable being introduced to new programs, and at times, look forward to the challenge.
