The logo above says it all...As teachers it is our responsibility and opportunity tointegrate technology into the learning process in an effort to promote success. This will take learning for our students above and beyond their wildest expectations. Who knows...we just might surprise ourselves with this vast opportunity.
I will endeavor to provide you with Technology TIPS based on the needs of your learners in conjunction with needs you believe will assist you in your educational journey. Kathy Hart is Alimacani's Instructional Technology Specialist. Kathy generates a Simply Marvelous weekly newsletter. I devour her newletter on a weekly basis and will be sharing some of the Technology Integration Promotes Success (T.I.P.S.) with each Alimacani Family Member. Please feel free to explore T.I.P.S. of interest that are based on the needs of your learners. Take a leap and don't be hesitant to embark on your own Technology Journey.
Kathy, Alimacani salutes you for helping us grow for our children!
Technology offers a wide variety of resources for teachers and students. It is important to view each site with a critical eye. Technology is indeed a powerful tool. Like most tools once they are put back on the shelf they may be forgotten or even worse they may indeed become rusty. The main goal is to explore the sites and uses of our technology services and determine how they will Engage, Empower, and Educate both teachers and students. Research and exploration alone will not always equate to growth. The infusion or implementation of technology into the curriculum will be one of the determining factors that help teachers and students understand what success looks like and in turn help each participant know how success feels. Have fun activating technology in the classroom with your students! Remember, we are an Apple Core School and Alimacani is up for a complete retrofit. The actual equipment might not be on our campus now but when it arrives let's be prepared!
