Tech. Savvy.

I would classify myself as a digital native. I am very computer savvy,  and have found ways to incorporate technology into my classroom. One of my favorite sites to introduce students to is Scratch. Scratch is a program that I was introduced to this summer. It is a way for people to learn how to do basic computer programing using pre-fab avatars. The beauty of the Scratch program is that multiple people can program at once, making it very interactive for students.


Tonight's class was interesting because we were able to see different perspectives on the use of technology. Technology brings about rapid change, and our students are ever changing as well. When we bring technology into the classroom, we are able to bring students together in powerful ways.

The 3 E's of Education- Enabled, Engaged, and Empowered.
Technology is changing the way in which we introduce and instruct students. providing access to digital environment is a way to enhance effective learning for all students.
