Technology

I love it, I hate it. I had a neat idea to send over some videos to my students back at home while I was on the DC trip with the 8th graders. It work fairly well, and the kids liked it from what I heard. I need to bring this experience to my teaching when I'm in the classroom. I also had some trouble uploading and getting it to them. Sometimes I'm not sure if the extra effort is worth the payoff when it comes to tech, especially if it doesn't work as well as it should. The videos did create some nice discussion when I got back. One video I made with the help of a student cameraman.

Where was I?

A new job, new home, new wife, and many other "new's" later, I'd like to try this again. I have a different set of challenges ahead of me, and it's been fun, exhausting, exciting, frustrating, and many other things. I'd like to be consistent here, but with the way things are going so far, I may not on on much. Still, I'd like to use this as a sounding board for ideas and things that go well, and things that don't. This will probably be more professional reflection and less personal, though I can never keep those two straight sometimes.
