ReplyDeleteI come from a high school who decided to try using iPads in select classes after a trial year at the middle school, and the teachers were very reluctant to use them or do much online because it either never worked or they didn't want to stray from the paper and pen they were used to. With that being said, I am very excited to have the opportunity to learn how to actually use technology and how to use it effectively in classrooms to enhance learning!

I am also really excited to be engaging in this type of professional development with my teacher education students. Welcome.
