What a crazy three days! It seems like we've been in the schools a lot longer than that! It is exciting and hard work! I work with Mrs. Valine. This is her first year teaching in Utah. She taught in Orange County California for the last five years. I respect her teaching style lots. She is serious about the kids learning content! She differentiates instruction so all her third graders can be successful. I am excited to learn more!
Old Mill Elementary was built in 2006. Thus it was built with technology in mind. They have two computer labs with 30 computers in each lab. Each class gets an hour of computer time each week. Each classroom also has a visualizer. Unfortunately there are not any computers in the classroom, but still the kids have access to the technology. Each teacher has a computer and a projector in the classroom. I know Mrs. Valine sometimes uses powerpoint. She can also show movies on the projector.
I also know that Wasatch school district is in a partnership with 9 other districts called NUES where they share technology with other schools...like digital cameras, video cameras and anything else you want. It just takes an email to reserve them. And luckily NUES is located in Heber so it's pretty convenient. I hope to find out more about it. It sounds like a great resource. Overall, the use of technology seems positive at the school.
I plan to use a powerpoint presentation in my upcoming lesson.
