End of Semseter Blog

It seemed like the semester just flew by this year. I did finish everything before the end which was great. I was so busy teaching and coaching it was a real time juggle for me. I did learn a lot about different technologies and how they can be used in the classroom. Digital stories are a good tool if you have time in your schedule to put them together. I feel if I were to make digital stories for my classes it would have to be done over the summer. I am glad that they introduced engrade to everyone Before i used engrade it would take me hours to do students final grade reports with averaging grades and dropping grades. I tell the other teachers that I work with about engrade and how easy and effective it is for the classroom. The group work went much more smoothly then I thought it would have. The only think that was a drawback was that sometimes there was a delay between when I would talk and when everyone would hear me. Overall though this semester was a success not only in getting work done but also in seeing how there is a lot of online help for teachers. This summer when I am reviewing my curriculum I will be trying to add in more technology for the students.
