Week 9 Post

Initial Technology Observations: It was both encouraging and discouraging to see what technology is available to the teacher with whom I am doing my practicum. She has 4 computers right in her classroom, which is very convenient. There is also a projector that is setup on the ceiling of her classroom to which she can hook up her laptop. There are 2 computer labs right outside her classroom with several computers, and they can be reserved for her class anytime they are not previously scheduled. There is no TV or CD player provided. She has access to them for checkout, but not very many are on hand. She has not used technology for instruction since I've been there, only using her computer to send emails or enter grades. So, there are some good technology tools available, but they are limited.

Yes, I completed parts 1 and 2 of the Week 9 PLE assignment.
