June 8 take away in 75 words or less...yeah right!

So many take aways, so little time. I appreciate the handouts that show with words AND pictures the steps for things we need to do on our computers. Saving as PDF and using Acrobat Pro were all new to me today! I can see I’ll need to create these kinds of handouts for my students for when I’m teaching them Kid Pix or Power Point programs. Somehow, I think that my 6, 7 & 8 year olds will understand how to use the programs a great deal quicker than me.
I think that many of the students who are getting “left behind” are our brightest. We have geared instruction to the “failing” learner and been happy that our bright students get proficient or advanced on their standardized scores. This is my 7th day with the TTL teaching team and I can say I am so clear about the benefits of using technology to deepen and increase student learning and at the same time engaging learners in challenging and meaningful activities.
Did you really think I could share take aways in 75 words or less?! Hah!

Nope, I figured you were good for at least a hundred. I'm pleased that this has been a worthwhile week for you. The world of technology has good and bad and we hope you were able to see a lot of the good this week.
