2. Do you feel the technology helps students to think m...See MoreI did not get many responses from my last post so I compiled some questions for my interview. I need three different teachers to respond. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please answer the following questions:
1. What types of technology are available in your classroom?
2. Do you feel the technology helps students to think more in depth?
3. What types of questions do you think about to integrate technology when creating lesson plans and instruction?
4. Do you feel technology integration is a step in the right direction?
5. What types of technology do you feel are better for classroom use, for example are laptops more beneficial than tablets?
6. Do you think students experience more from technology than standard teaching techniques?
7. What are some of the problems you have encountered in the classroom from integrating technology?
8. Do you create a backup plan in case the technology fails?
9. Do you feel technology is user friendly for all students or do some struggle to learn from the devices?
10. Do you feel technology makes your job easier or harder?
flackaI wrote out all my answers and they disappeared when I scrolled to see the last question - sorry, I am not going to re-do it. Hopefully someone will have better luck with the technology LOL
2. Do you feel the technology helps students to think more in depth? Yes, depending on the purpose of the task
3. What types of questions do you think about to integrate technology when creating lesson plans and instruction? availability of devices, length of lesson plan, amount of time needed to teach the technology
4. Do you feel technology integration is a step in the right direction? In most cases yes. I would caution against using technology for the sake of technology.
5. What types of technology do you feel are better for classroom use, for example are laptops more beneficial than tablets? chrome books are on the top of the list because of students being able to work online from another location by signing into Google
6. Do you think students experience more from technology than standard teaching techniques? Depends on the depth of the tasks
7. What are some of the problems you have encountered in the classroom from integrating technology? Haven't had too many issues other than hardware issues - students moving keys, dropping the device etc. It doesn't happen very often, but it is a concern.
8. Do you create a backup plan in case the technology fails? Yes, always be prepared
9. Do you feel technology is user friendly for all students or do some struggle to learn from the devices? Most are able to learn from one another if they struggle
10. Do you feel technology makes your job easier or harder? easier
I decided I needed quiet time during my walk today. I heard 4 loud barking dogs. Fortunately all were inside their houses. What I have been missing with a podcast or book in my ears! Or perhaps I'm just more sensitive now.
Hope you, too, have great outdoor weather and the opportunity to enjoy it.
Elaine, I'm still skittish around loose dogs. Hang in there.
I took a long walk today, over 12,000 steps, to make up for big time indulgence with family yesterday. Then I indulged some more this afternoon. Oh well, tomorrow...
DD and her wonderful husband were here from 500 miles away yesterday. I put them to work. They filled their SUV with a load to Goodwill. They also took stuff for themselves. And he helped me with a couple of tech issues. I'd put aside some very nice clothes from when I was working, too good for Goodwill, and DD loved them, yay! I am thrilled! I'm going to get rid of this accumulation of years if it's the last thing I do.
Please feel free to just talk. I really need to know what do you think about when you integrate technology into your lessons and into your instruction. Also how do you integrate technology into your instruction. Thanks for your response and help.
Hang in and keep moving t...See MoreWow. Absent for a week and things have changed. I have continued walking and using the treadmill almost daily. Today was an off day. Still staying nights with DM. Tonight GN is staying with her. Back to pt exercise tomorrow.
Sorry to hear about dog bite, Elaine. I will have to backtrack to read about it.
I didn't have the energy to post last evening. I did squeeze in a 45 minute walk yesterday before going to DGS's piano recital. It was delightful, but full of lots of angst for some of the participants. Our little nearly 2nd grader was perhaps too young to have nerves. He boldly announced his pieces and then played them with his usual authority. Proud moment for the fam.
Repeating Bev's admonition: we keep moving our feet, don't we? (Even if we're sometimes silent.)

If you value the world simply for what you can get out of it, be assured that the world will in turn estimate your value by what it can get out of you.
We repeated the route from last Saturday but with one less stop and at a faster pace. So, with the adjustments I made since last Saturday, I saw a lot of improvement in a week. It helped also that it was 10 degrees cooler, too. Drinking an electrolyte replenishment drink and moving my gears so that the back tire didn't feel like a brake was in helped the most. I have hope again that I can accomplish my end of August long ride goal. We rode 12 miles plus I rode my bike to and from the meeting place.
Phew, hard time getting here--had to use old name. Let's see what posts. Finally got to walk 10,000 steps after 5 days of 0 (no caregiver). Tomorrow is company then I should be back on track for a while starting Monday.
I'm so glad t...See MoreThanks for asking, Men. The bite is healing nicely, and the tetanus shot isn't very sore any more either. Yes, definitely a new route. Darn, I'll miss the trees on the street where the dog lives.
I envy you for mastering your gears. Mine seem a mystery to me, and I always revert to my tried-and-true 1-favorite-speed.
I'm so glad that your goal seems attainable. You have lots of training time left. Hope the weather cooperates.
Judy, so glad you're back "out" again. the changes here are a bit frustrating, but I hope to persist and learn to like them. Did you read books last week?
I had my steps in yesterday but didn't post. Today I'm just under 6K, but we did a 10-mile bike ride in addition.
We laid our long-time Sunday morning coffee hostess to rest today. We'd had coffee with her weekly (and sometimes more) for more than 46 years. She died in January, but they held the memorial service today. She's my role model: so loyal, so accepting, so forgiving. Wish I could be half the woman she was.
