TCPCG Day 1
Today is the first day of classes at the UCONN TCPCG class of 2013. The morning started on a rough note during the hour and a half commute from Cheshire to West Hartford on I-84. I am hoping that the accident on route 9 had something to do with the delay, but we'll know tomorrow for sure. When I say "we" I am referring to a colleague of mine, Terence McTague, who I met shortly before our student orientation. Come to find out, he lives less than two miles from me in Hamden, so I am lucky enough to have a companion to drive into school with. Thankfully, we arrived just on time for our first class, "Enhancing Classroom Curriculum with Computers" with Bob Hale. We introduced ourselves, reviewed the syllabus, and made presentations involving the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers. It was a little daunting for me to realize who little I know about technology and how to effectively use it in the classroom. Fortunately, it seems as though I am not the only one. I can honestly say the day FLEW by, and it makes me excited to know what else is in store for us this week!
Sorry to hear about the commute delay Sarah, total bummer.
ReplyDeleteI agree this class flows pretty well and the time is flying by as we are learning about the technologic tools at our finger tips.
Who gets to control the radio on your carpools? :-P
Sarah, So sorry about the traffic - I got stuck in it too but on route 9. Which made for a good time. But, I am glad you both got here safely. I was daunted too by all of this technology - but, im glad were being given the opportunity to learn this. Otherwise I certainly would not have even attempted to use a mac. I too am excited to see whats in store for us with in the next few days and the coming weeks.
