It's a new school year with a fresh start, so it's time to set some goals! Reminder: This assignment should be at least six sentences long and it's due Friday, September 9th. Here are mine:
This year is my second year teaching so I hope to continue on the success I had last year by bringing more valuable technology to my classroom. I hope to do this through these Blogs, Slate and Tablets, and intriguing SMART Board presentations. I also hope to focus more on writing and the writing process this year by having students complete lab reports and discussions online (through their Blogs, hopefully!) Writing is something so important for any career so students need to practice early and often. Finally, I feel as though I could do a better job preparing students for longer exams, so I will incorporate techniques in my class to help students practice. I felt as though the length of the final last year really impacted some of my students and I could have done a better job preparing them for the length of it.
And those are my goals for this year. I can't wait to read yours!
