However, you can begin using the space (far end of library next to my office) next week!

The idea comes from a growing trend of creating comfortable, practical, collaborative work spaces for professionals. My goal is to create a place where educators can come together to discuss, plan, share, and openly collaborate without judgement or mandates to truly improve instructional practices. 

Watch the video below for further explanation!]]> 2018-01-04 01:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/c_horner10/bmsinservice/wish/218662191 c_horner10 https://padlet.com/c_horner10/bmsinservice/wish/218664456 Blended Learning is coming soon to a school near you]]> 2018-01-04 02:21:11 UTC https://padlet.com/c_horner10/bmsinservice/wish/218664456 c_horner10 https://padlet.com/c_horner10/bmsinservice/wish/218664778 There are two things I want you to consider - 
1. Having more opportunities to use computers in your instruction can impact learning in positive AND negative ways. How can you ensure students are taking advantage of all their time on computers? (Hint: it's not through Youtube or CoolMath...)
2. Utilizing technology in your instruction is not a mandate - start with what you are comfortable with and grow from there.

Now, watch below to see how other schools are using technology in ways that work!]]> 2018-01-04 02:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/c_horner10/bmsinservice/wish/218664778 c_horner10 https://padlet.com/c_horner10/bmsinservice/wish/218665620 Click on the link below to answer the question under the "Share" activity.]]> 2018-01-04 02:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/c_horner10/bmsinservice/wish/218665620 c_horner10 https://padlet.com/c_horner10/bmsinservice/wish/218665898 Below are a few ways that I can support you:

• Team teaching new programs and lessons to your students  
• Digital Citizenship lessons (online safety, social media awareness, creating effective passwords, etc.) 
• Working with PLC groups to find ways to gain & analyze data, and to share engagement, remediation, and enrichment strategies. 
• Meeting with teachers during planning periods to train on a wide variety of programs and to help with technology integration into lesson plans. 
• Offering after-school in-services to demonstrate and train on educational technology integration.
