Reflection: I continue to try and incorporate current and relevant online activities with all my classes. I generally use technology 1-2 times per week in each of my classes. I continue to search for new and better activities. I like the idea of google documents and itouch applications. I will continue to work on this. I have not keep current an online teacher webpage since I do not have adequate time and training to do this. My district is supposed to offer time and updated training on this. Our curriculum director continues to drop the ball on this opportunity. Our students are supposed to have a laptop computer for their supply list next year. For next year, I am quitting coaching after 16 years to focus on my teaching and family.
