Super excited to be able to be the leader of the math department in becoming 1-1 and being a google educator. There are still a lot of hesitations on my part concerning using all this wonderful technology in the classroom. I've seen some awesome things in Tom Lutke's room and it makes me jealous that I don't get to teach a subject that is more welcoming to that kind of innovative thinking. It seems that so many times we get stuck in our ways and it's so difficult to change around what we know and what we are used to.
I'm eager to learn and excited to try different methods using the Chrome books, but I'm also cautious because I don't want my classroom 'experiments' to negatively affect the students learning. I feel as though it's going to be a fine line to walk until I can start to understand what works and what doesn't.
I love the risk-taking. Good to be cautious. I bet some of your experiments will positively affect your students' learning.
