Next to teaching, technology is one of my greatest passions in life. I firmly believe that technology is the future and it is my responsibility to prepare my students to be able to effectively use technology. Various blog posts I have written about technology in the classroom can be found here.
Just a few of the ways we use technology in the classroom are:
GSuite for Education: My district is a Google for Education district, which allows my students to collaborate in real time. While working in Google Classroom, students can all "jump into" one Doc at a time and edit all together. We have also used a Sheet to track reading minutes, Forms to complete surveys, and in many other ways. I successfully achieved full funding for 2 DonorsChoose projects for a set of Chromebooks for use in my classroom, becoming the first 1:1 Chromebook classroom in Warren County Public Schools and among the only 1:1 classrooms in Stafford County Public Schools.
