In my grade 7 class the students have access to chrome books. They use them daily and they are apart of so many lessons. They are an unbelievable resource for students and a great way to take learning beyond the classroom. My associate teacher told me I needed to get used to working on the Halton Cloud and get familiar with Google Classroom. I never used either of these tools when I went to school in Halton and so this will be an adjustment!
The textbook Interweaving Curriculum and Classroom Assessment talks about the emerging new story. One of the big ideas in the new story is technology. My school is certainly an enthusiastic adopter of technology. I want to embrace these resources as they engaged students and can enhance learning. Technology gives students the opportunity to learn on a global level and I am excited to put technology to use when I begin teaching during my practicum. My teacher also loves using online tools because it is paperless and students have access to the homework and class information from home! Of course, this is one more thing I will need to get comfortable really quickly but I am committed to using technology to the best of my ability in order to be a teacher in the new story!
