My TIS journey so far has been extremely enlightening in
many ways. Web 2.0 tools are more plentiful than I ever knew. I love the way
that we bring a new tool with us for smackdown
at every meeting whether it be online or in person. I have learned so much that
I can’t seem to keep it all in my mind. There are programs and ideas that when
I first learn about, I cannot wait to use them. Students get so excited about
anything different and electronic. Teachers are for the most part accepting of
new ideas. This training has enhanced what I do with teachers and students.
I have enjoyed meeting colleagues that have the same
interest as I. One of the best parts of TIS training is the people. Connecting
with other teachers across the state can be reassuring that I’m not the only
one with issues in my job, friends that give wonderful suggestions and have
ideas I would never think of, and best of all an opportunity for collaborating
with amazing innovative teachers.
One thing I do regret for missing out on is the PLC meetings
for October, November and December. I cannot believe I have let myself do that.
I went to the meeting in October that was cancelled. Started the Intel eLearning
class and totally forgot about them from that point. I hate that!! I did watch
videos and wrote a summary. I learned a lot from the webinars, but I do not
plan to miss any more because it regenerates me in this journey.
Our leaders are supportive and by no means leave us out
there to fend for ourselves. I appreciate them so much. They are so good at
making sure we stay on track. I know Bodie thinks of us, just as we think of
her often.
I checked out several blogs. Erica's videos she posted are so catchy and I know kids love them. I know I did.
