STEPn It Up

This program has been very helpful in introducing me to the world of technology and its many uses. I have been very eager to use what I am learning and will learn in the classroom. However, I think it takes creativity and time to switch your normal teacher routine to one that integrates technology as a normal part of instruction. However, I think the rewards are worth the effort. I also think it is very important that teachers work in teams to create the movement and shift the change. My students are very receptive of my trial and error of integrating technology. For many, this provides them an opportunity to show me what to do and teach me what they know. I love the rewards that technology has to offer and look forward to STEPn it UP in my classroom.
