Why I love my job September 23, 2007

Last Thursday was our first full day of training for this year’s K-12 Technology Mentors. You will soon see their profiles. At the end of the day, I asked them to use our wiki to write a reflection of what we had done that day. Robin shared these “Big Ideas” she came away with:
Ethics of how we use material, what we post, how we give credit
-How to think critically about the information that we find on the web, Is it valid? What are the writers purposes?
-How can students use these tools as a way to share their own thinking and creations.
Wende was thrilled to have the time to learn about all of the tools that Durham Public Schools have available for teachers. “I found out that there are many programs available right on the DPS network. I made sure that I had all of my logins and passwords so that I can access these resources at home and school. My co-workers are going to be so excited to see and use all of these hidden gems”
It is truly a joy to work with teachers who see the value of learning new things.
