I have been using my SMART Board more and more and it is amazing. I am learning little by little what it is capable of. My students love it. It is a great interactive tool to use when exploring math and science. I have started putting objectives and discussions we have on it, so then we can refer back to it when we get to that subject. We use it for everything. We go to the computer lab once a week and they are still becoming familiar with what they can and cannot do on the computer, but hopefully here soon we can start making PowerPoint presentations, typing up their final personal narrative for writing on the computer, setting up a blackboard account so that we can communicate with other classes. My mentor is going to help me set that up with another class. I think we will be communicating about different books at first. Overall the year is off to a great start, and I am surviving. I now realize that the days are not long enough to be able to teach all that I would like to, but I also realize that it is a fact of life!
