Wk 3 - Day 10

the highlight of my day today was the smartboard mini-session i sat in on after school. i've heard about them from numerous classmates, but i haven't had the opportunity to use one yet. the sample lesson plans i viewed, games, features, etc., blew my mind away. mrs. s has one in her classroom and has used it once to show a powerpoint presentation. i can't wait to dive in and see what i can do...i can't believe she doesn't try to implement it more. she's stated she needs to have more training in it and finding time to do it is a problem and i can totally understand that. one thing that i see everyday that's a problem is....time. there's just not enough time in the day to get everything done let alone additional training.

i sent an email to the technology person in the district and asked if there were any training sessions i could sit in on for smartboard, hopefully there will be. i can only hope that i'll find a job that has a smartboard in the classroom and having some training in it can only be a benefit for me.
