December Meeting


At our first meeting in December, we explored our personal definitions and understanding of effective technology integration.



Here is a link to a SlideShare show of the PowerPoint from our meeting. This is the self assessment we will each complete. As well two videos we viewed, one called Learning to Change and Changing to Learn , and the other called Teaching Teachers to Teach in the 21st Century.


We considered the successes and challenges of utilizing our SmartBoards effectively. We also discussed the purpose and goals of our learning circle. This was an extremely positive and motivating start to our time together.
