I also like to learn ways to better help my organization of instruction as an educator. 
I also hope to share new creative apps and engaging technology based activities to better keep students interested in learning and growing. 
I hope to share some of my experiences with technology as an educator as well. ]]> 2019-10-14 19:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/acupp4/b34mzvpgt5n7/wish/397592584 acupp4 https://padlet.com/acupp4/b34mzvpgt5n7/wish/397595131 For my students, I hope that mastering some aspects of technology and the uses of this technology, allows them a stronger sense of self. I hope that exposure to technology allows them the chance to grow a more powerful connection to education and growth. I hope that technology allows them the ability to feel more connected to the world around them as well. ]]> 2019-10-14 19:24:15 UTC https://padlet.com/acupp4/b34mzvpgt5n7/wish/397595131 acupp4 https://padlet.com/acupp4/b34mzvpgt5n7/wish/397613833 My personal hope for technology is to better understand some aspects of newer programs and uses for my students. My personal goal is to also raise money to build a stronger selection of technology to use in the classroom as well. ]]> 2019-10-14 20:12:13 UTC https://padlet.com/acupp4/b34mzvpgt5n7/wish/397613833 acupp4 https://padlet.com/acupp4/b34mzvpgt5n7/wish/397618888 In my classroom, student access to technology is rather limited. There are 2 desktops and 1 laptop to my 12 students in class, so I allow them alternating turns on computers and laptops in order to complete assignments. My hope is to raise money to buy more technology devices for my classroom. ]]> 2019-10-14 20:25:43 UTC https://padlet.com/acupp4/b34mzvpgt5n7/wish/397618888 acupp4 https://padlet.com/acupp4/b34mzvpgt5n7/wish/397623875 On a typical school day, my student attend school from 7:45 to 3:10. They attend school five days a week. My hope is that we will be able to one day transition to a 4 day school week, allowing teachers more time to plan for their weeks and students more time to work on homework and studies at home. ]]> 2019-10-14 20:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/acupp4/b34mzvpgt5n7/wish/397623875
