Over the past several years I have found myself wanting to integrate technology into my classroom. Since I am a high school math teacher, I always find myself navigating towards the latest and greatest in technology. My problem is with all of these great innovative ways to incorporate digital learning, I feel like I am drowning. I have many tools in my toolbox, I just do not have the time nor the energy to get them going.
How can I fix this? I decided at the beginning of this school year to go back to school to get my Master’s degree. I know, crazy, right? I picked a Master of Education in Technology Leadership. I guess since the word Technology was in the name, that is why I gravitated to it. I am currently in my sixth class, which just so happens to be the first technology class. What I envisioned and what I am currently doing are two completely different things. Our assignment is to design an ePortfolio where I have to document my learning through blogging. I will be honest, all of this is extremely new to me. For starters, I have never developed a website and two, I have never thought about blogging. I can definitely say that I am in uncharted territories right now.
Developing this site has been a struggle. I worry about how this will be perceived by others and what they will think. I need to keep reminding myself that this site is ultimately for me and it is my creation. I am charting my course and I do not need to worry about what others will think. So here is to clicking the launch button and hoping everything comes together alright.
