My Goals for Summer, 2015

I know exactly what my goals for this summer are, but I have to go back to last semester to explain. When we were given the assignment of writing a scope and sequence, a unit plan, and a lesson plan, I was immediately overwhelmed by the fact that I had NO IDEA what kind of technologies were available to use. I asked around, googled, looked at Pintrest, anything I could do think of to find information and ideas. I finally hammered out what I thought were great ideas, only to get a c on the unit plan, because I didn't have enough tech. I was quite frustrated. I thought about going back and redoing it, but it was pointless, since I still had no idea what to do.

I have held on to the hope that this summer we would learn about different technologies that I could learn about, find a few that I felt really comfortable with, and learn them really well. Then I could start integrating them into my curriculum. Over time I could expand on that.

So, goals for this summer:

1. Learn about some new technologies
2. Choose three or four and learn them really well
3. Go through curriculum and figure out where I can best implement them

I know that kids are so adept at change and learning new things. I am sure that if I teach them a few, they can expand them and teach me things I hadn't thought of.
