Over the past few years, I have been interested in having my parents becoming a closer partner in helping their children grow as learners. I intend to encourage my co-workers to use videos to show their parents how to do things like our weekly assignment. Far too frequently, I find myself saying on conference night, “I wish you had told me about this problem sooner, I am sure that so other parents would benefit from your questions.” If parents knew what they were supposed to do with their children, it would have saved a lot of time and more than likely a few arguments. Maybe a clip on how we approach word study in our classrooms would benefit a parent at home.
Upon further thought, I thought how I could encourage my co-workers to do this as well. We, as teachers, spend a lot of time thinking about how to best serve our children. Better teachers reflect on how they interact with the children under their care. So I am embarking on a techy field trip, this summer. Through the course of my studies this term, I have been introduced to several new programs, technologies, and refinements of several of the things that I have been using for several years. I intend to use, play, fool around, and reflect on the use of about 10 different kinds throughout this summer. So over the course of the next few weeks. I expect to look over some techy stuff to experiment with.
