Kick-Off Post

  • What motivated you to become a tech nerd this summer?
I was part of the chrome book phase 1, so I have some experience with having chrome books in my classroom.  I want to better utilize the chrome books in my classroom to support learning.  I am looking for more ideas and ways to motivate my students.
  • What you hope to learn about in Tech Nerd Camp 2.0?
I want to develop ways to help my students become digital citizens who can use technology to learn. This year, the students were always a step ahead of me in finding new ways to access information using their chrome books.  I want to be the tech nerd of the classroom so I can stay ahead of my students instead. 
  • How would you describe your current comfort level with technology?  What tools do you use already in your classroom (if any)?
I have become so much more comfortable using technology over the past school year.  I regularly use Google Classroom and have developed many assignments including presentations using Google Slides.  I have introduced my students to numerous websites to support learning this year including spelling city, quizlet, typing web, and kahoot.
