Lisa D. Kerns-February Blog

What technology activities were you involved in during the month of February?

• I consider the FETC one of the best educational experiences I have ever had. I enjoyed almost every session I attended and left with a wealth of information to share with my school. Bonding with my fellow TIS participants was also a wonderful experience. I have made some true friends because of this program.
• This month I assisted my teachers with SnapGrades and WVEIS on the Web. I troubleshooted technology problems throughout my building and assisted our county technician with completing technology work orders.
• I have been working on creating my Technology Resource Page... it is a massive amount of work, but once I have completed it I know it will be a wonderful resource.
• I assisted my teachers with setting up their Elmos and helped them with the software.
• I signed my classes up for access email accounts.
• I troubleshooted whiteboard problems and showed teachers sites that would assist them with integrating the whiteboard into their curriculum.

What technology activities did you share with your students? Other CTE educators?

• I came back to the classroom excited to use everything I was exposed to, but of course I had to pull back and choose a few to strart. I have integrated Blogger into my classes to promote writing across the curriculum and my Life Basics program.
• I exposed my teachers to the information I collected from my Microsoft Office sessions--They were GREAT! I loved Tony Franklin.
• I plan to share more of experiences with my teachers on our ISE day March 23rd.

What additional technology would you like to share with the group? I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful time I had during the conference. Our dinners and meetings were both enlightening and enjoyable. I can't wait to go to FETC next year!
