Week 1 in the field

WHAT?: Well, I've been in the field for a week... SCARY! I actually love it! I love being in a class finally. I really like the students that I'm working with too. Its been really fun so far. My cooperating teacher is great! She's let me have a lot of freedom with my lesson plans.

SO WHAT?: This week I'm doing Art and its been fun! I've used a powerpoint to show self portraits of famous artists and taught about color to the students. They have a smart board in their classroom that they use a lot for math! It's been really great, the students really love to use it. Miss Draper will put problems up on the smart board and then have the kids solve them on the board.

NOW WHAT?: I really hope that I have a smart board in my class when I start teaching! They great and I've only heard good things about them! I have noticed that I will need to get a Mac eventually... Everyone uses Mac and it seems to be working fine. I haven't had a lot of opportunity to use very much technology myself, but next week I'm teaching Science and I will be showing my digital story about bacteria and using other things in some lessons.
