This texting conversation happened after my last grad school class:
Student via text message: “you’re the smartest person I know! especially about technology”
Me via text message: “well you are lucky then… I can share all my tech knowledge with you!”
Student via text message: “Awesome! Will you help me come up with something for the tech fair?”
This might be one of the greatest complements I have ever received! This particular student is one that is smart and does try hard, however still struggles at times with academic content. This is one of those moments that remind me why I love my job so much!
Amazing.…Fantastic….Thrilling….Changing….Stressful….These are the words I would use to describe the past semester…both as a students and teacher. I cannot separate the two. Change has been a theme for me this semester. As a teacher, this year I changed grade levels and as a student, this was my first semester back to school. This is a lot of change at the start of a school year. I feel like these changes have re-inspired me as a teacher.
In the beginning, I was so overwhelmed… but now I can say I have a Vision and a small plan to start making changes at my school. I also better understand why we are in the state we are in with regards to technology! I have learned so much and not only from Dr. Jo but from my peers too! If it weren’t for one of my peers I might never have been able to complete a student project! I value our face to face time!
What are we going to learn next?!?!?!?!
