So it's been one week since starting the MSU-Wipro STEM & Leadership Fellowship, and to say that I am not completely energized for school to start is an understatement. Okay...that's a lie, especially because in this last week, my mind has been on overload^infinity about the possibilities of what my learning can mean for my students' understanding. When the face-to-face time subsides, I feel as if I will then have the time to "settle" into creating a game plan for how I want to utilize technology with my new groups of students. I especially want to see how technology can play a critical role in science and engineering understanding. In the last twelve years of my teaching, I've strengthen my content and pedagogical skills immensely when it comes to science education. Content classes, workshops, notebooking seminars, cooperative learning strategies, blah, blah, blah.
Now comes the tech piece that I have been thirsty for! Watch out...and I recognize that in all this designing, implementing, and evaluating my tech plan into my science and engineering classes, that it will be filled with failures. I am completely okay with that. How will I know what can bring more engagement with students unless I try? Watch out world. Here I come.
