Since 2001, I have always wanted to incorporate technology in my classroom.  The district that I teach in is very big, but they have tried to have up to date technology (each classroom has a smartboard and I think all middle school and high school is 1:1.)  Most years, the Technology Coaches for the district has classes in which you can get incentives (iPad, chromebook, document camera, etc.) for the classroom. I was blessed to have a wonderful Technology Coach who saw a passion for technology in me.  I took one class in the summer of 2017 on Seesaw and I saw this as an opportunity to have the students start documenting what they were learning in the class. They were able to do a project and then they had to explain their project.

As I reflect over the last five weeks over all the concepts that I have learned about, I am excited about actually teaching  growth mindset (vs. fixed mindset) to my first graders.  In Dweck's Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, she outlines four steps to a true growth mindset.  For my first assignment for this class, I found activities to help with the first week of school.  I am so excited to do these things with my students next week.  I will be using more activities that I hope to share with all.  Also, I am excited to teach myself and the students "The Power of Yet."  As a teacher, we are pushed in all directions to learn "different" ways to teach and sometimes my fixed mindset (she has a name and it is "Fanny") tells me that I will just never get it.   I have so much to learn.   The growth will continue...
