I'm participating in the New Teacher Boot Camp being held by Lisa Dabbs through Edutopia. I'm really excited to learn about the different tools. We covered Worlde and Voicethread briefly in my educational technologies course at the University of Illinois, but I want to explore them a little more. StoryBird and Wetoku were on a list of resources, but they were not really mentioned or explained. I hope these next few weeks really help.
I'm also currently participating in another boot camp, it's a fitness boot camp through the Austin Sports and Social Club. It's been rough, I'm almost done with week 3 out of 4. I hope to participate in it again the next time I'm in Austin, TX.
Since I'm in Austin this summer I will also be attending the TI-Nspire workshop in Houston! I'm really excited to be learning about the new technology in the classroom and especially getting teaching software. The school that I will be student teaching at is using the TI-Nspire, and I've never used one, so here's to learning!
As the summer keeps going on and the new school year starts, my blog posts will become better, I promise. They won't be just plain old reflections, I want substance and learning with this blog and I hope you find time to help this pre-service teacher build her knowledge base and her personal learning network.
