From+My+Heart



Creating this wiki has been a challenge and creative expression!

I used to say that I was "technology-challenged." Now, I can truly say that I have learned to use tools that will add to my ability to keep students engaged. Looking back on this semester, I have painted portraits, told stories, augmented long-silent voices, and opened new and exciting doors for my future students.

Technology is often seen as difficult to master and worse, cold or inhuman. I think that we have the freedom to choose how new technology can be assimilated into our teaching, communication, and creativity. I have learned that technology is just another way to fill the world with color, life, and soul.

The wiki itself is easy to create, update, change, adjust...etc., etc. As I continue to learn and create more lesson plans and unit plans, this whole project reminds me that the process of teaching is never finished.

I hope to add adaptations for ELL students, links to the readings (including .pdf files where appropriate), and study guides.

Last, but not least, the world of wikis has inspired me to add my own flair and style to the mix!

Yes, I know. That all sounded a bit over the top.

Then again, shouldn't learning be a fantastic adventure?

I think so.
