My name is Terri and this is my first time blogging. I feel very uncertain about all of this but hope to become more comfortable as I work through my Cool Tools for School online PD. I'm a teacher/libraian at Trinity Catholic School in upstate NY. I have a wonderful husband of 16 years and 2 beautiful teenagers that keep me very busy when not at school.
I am hoping that this course gives me many tools to enhance my students learning and love of learning. I feel that it is important to connect with each child that passes through my door on an individual basis. In order for me to do that, I need to stay up to date on new technology and ways of reaching even our most challenging students. I feel that this course will help me accomplish this.
I have learned through this first lesson that I'm more apprehensive about blogging than I expected to be. I thought that it would be easy to set up and use a blog and I'm sure I will get there but I'm not there yet. I can see the value in teaching students to blog but don't know if I will use it with my students at this time. I need to become much more comfortable with all of this first. So, let the learning continue...
