Technology is evolving and educators need professional learning to assist them in incorporating technology in the classroom. For this reason, the U.S. Department of Education's Connected Educators created a starter kit to assist educators with a daily calendar of professional development on different technology tools that could be used in the classroom. Educators need to understand that students are very aware about technology that surrounds them and need the guidance to properly use it as an educational tool. Take a look at the information and get educated in the new learning. Technology is a positive change that can be used to create an effective educational setting and assist students to be successful.
This year on July 18th, 19th, and 20th, I was able to attend the Conference for the Advancement of Mathematics Teaching (CAMT 2012). This conference was for the K-12 math teachers. The theme for this conference was "Navigating a Sea of Change". Since education is constantly evolving, it provided the opportunity to view the changes that are occurring and delivered effective strategies for teachers. This was a great opportunity to collaborate and share with other educators from all around Texas. It was a great conference that provided new teaching ideas for the classroom. All the presenters share the wealth of knowledge through their presentations. The presentations were engaging and outstanding. I am very pleased to be the recipient of the 2012 CAMT President's Award.
