Working Through Day 2

I felt like I spent all day yesterday either on the computer trying to set up different tech accounts or trying to read my Lit Book and prepare for the first lesson on Thursday. I wasn't done with my homework until after 8pm (Mostly due to facebook breaks and finding cute new blog backgrounds.) But I got to a finishing point and I'm ready to take on day two.

I'm really excited for technology in my classroom, although I fear I'll never have the computers for my class when I need them. I know my students love working on the computers and that they can complete amazing tech assignments, but I fear that they'll never have the opportunity due to lake of computers. My school does a fantastic job letting teacher "book" the computer rooms and "check out" the rolling labs, but there still isn't enough to go around. I'm hoping I can borrow the mobi's and clickers frequently. Luckily for me they won't be in use for my science classes thanks to 7th grade Plan Time! =) We'll see how it goes. They only thing I can do is to plan in advance and be willing to try and "roll with the punches."

I am most excited for creating a glogster. While I've worked with them before...I'm eager to set up a glog for the first day of school. How fun! To have a Welcoming Glog and different links to help calm the anxiety of my 6th graders! I can't wait to dedicate more time to that and actually get this Glog created!
