Setting: Hyalite Elementary School, 2nd Grade Tech Club
Technology: Smart Board, Macbooks
Curricular vision: Focus on typing and use of internet for research.
What challenges me? I do not feel prepared to teach young students, simply because I haven't thought about it. I have the knowledge and skills, I just haven't put them into practice before.
What interests me? I love how quickly and readily younger kids learn, so I am excited to work with children who are still fairly new to school and technology.
What scares me? I am not sure how interesting I am to 2nd graders, but I also don't want to be overbearing. Finding the right balance of enthusiasm will be a challenge. I also feel a lot of pressure from the administration to perform well. This is fun in a way though, because I feel very motivated by this pressure.
