Hi Everyone...Happy Thanksgiving.. It's my week to host and I like to share a video that really touched my heart when I first saw it. I hope you enjoy it and think about the message behind it and way that you can change teacher's minds about the use of technology. I first saw this video a few years ago before I started teaching and I though to myself how sad that teachers fall behind in technology. This is my 5th year teaching in a High School and I find it to STILL be true that not all teacher KNOW how to use technology. As a future MTT, what will you do to make sure your teachers learn and use technology in the classroom to help prepare your student for the future?

R. Palomares:

Thank you for your comment and I agree that we must stay current with technology in order to be in the same level of knowledge that our students are in. I like the idea of keep teachers informed of technology through learning communites that the campuses have to offer and I truly hope that the message is conveyed to all, not just the teachers, but administration. Thank you again;.

Marivel, you hit nail on the head, teachers are reluctant to using technology and that is why our furture jobs as MTT's is to make them understand how important it is to stay up-to-date and implement technology tools to help bring about a new dimension of learning.

Hi Sergio: Thank you for the link. I truly enjoyed the video and understand that we as teacher learn from our student everyday. I use the Quizstar and RubiStar on campus and I especially like to use the Arcademic Skill Builder with my 21st century student that I tutor on for Saturday's Academy. It's a fun way of learning math and language arts and the student love the interaction and competition of the game and they forget they are learning... not just playing and having fun. It's a great site and I recommend to all the campus teachers at Pace. Great link! Blanca
