Winter Break 2010

Winter break begins and I am still getting over a cold. I expect that this is better than just getting sick with the prospect of being sick the whole break. My latest endeavor is to integrate technology into my Hebrew classes. Duh...took me long enough too. It is as if for the past 12 years as a 6th grade teacher and an EdTech teacher I don't know any better...just a little slow. I read an article from Behrman House in the December issue of Open Lion Online and finally connected the dots to bringing technology into my class. I have a laptop and a projector. What more do I need? Access to the Internet will come later. A brief survey of my students let me know that all have either their own computer/mobile device or access to their parents' computer. Now to take this break and create or build off of what I find out there and begin to integrate techology into the class!
