My favorite personal/professional use of technology
My favorite personal use is gaining information. I love what I can research in such a small amount of time. Yes, I can remember when research meant hours and days in the library. At school I continue to be best and use low tech the most. I could not teach without the use of visuals paired with words. I use them for word walls, communication, schedules etc. I have started pairing pictures of the children with their names, pictures, and in books.

The most frustrating aspect of using "technology"
Time. I enjoy learning about technology, but it is not easy for me. When something does not go as expected it often takes more time than I have to figure it out. I am also realizing I find it hard to post information. I have no problem sharing information when I know exactly who I am sharing it with. If I did a web site that only my families could access I would be fine with that. Knowing others can access it is a very uncomfortable situation for me personally. Even posting here is something I have put off doing.

I use my classroom environment to teach. I have spent years developing a curriculum using the AEPS. I would like to look at ways of adding technology to my environment and curriculum to make them stronger and more meaningful for the children.
