My Reflections About the Seminar

I have learned so much these past weeks about technology in the classroom. I came in feeling unpolished in my tech skills and ideas. I feel like I am now armed with many more resources and ideas about how to have more fun, variety and creativity in my classroom. I teach second, fifth and high school classes at our school. I will be able to create many more projects that are relevant to our learning and to the students. I am looking forward to the Fall when I can proceed with some of my new ideas.

At the workshop I was introduced to many more iPad applications which will undoubtedly enhance the classroom project sphere. Also in terms of content for teaching a variety of subjects, I left with more resources. I am still unsure of how all of this will all play out the in classroom next year and which age students will best respond to certain apps and projects. However I know for certain that I can now better engage parents and families to interact with the classroom material from home. The level of presentation that can now summarize our classwork will undoubtedly be more impressive. I can 'wrap up' our work and display it for families and students to enjoy in meaningful and creative ways.


I am grateful to CJP for the iPads to my school and for all the training. I think it would be great to have a check-in towards the middle of the year and see how we've applied what we've learned. I am eager to enter the classroom with such a wider breadth of tools at my disposal!
