7 weeks in and Halloween

OK! We are 7 weeks into the new 2020-2021 school year. Has it been rough? Yes. Has it been unbearable? No. 

Ironically, I believe COVID-19 has forced all the public education systems in this country, and worldwide even, into the 21st century. So many students and schools have not implemented the technology that students will encounter upon graduation and entering college or the workforce. Simply knowing how to use a smartphone is not knowing technology. 

The difficulty for me is knowing which technologies to use for my students to best challenge them. There are as many sources out there in the Wide World Web to use, teachers must be prudent in making decisions as to which ones to use.

This is just my two cents for what it is worth. I love what I do; I love the challenge, and always want to give my best to get the best out of all of my students.

Happy Halloween Week!

A few of my favorite things.

WOW! 

Has 2020 been a year or what? 

What began as a school research Blog during my master's degree has turned into occasional musings and interests. 

But now, with the onset of COVID 19 and my mom having stage 4 lung cancer (and moving in with me for hospice), I feel I have more to say, not so much for others, but most definitely for myself. 

This isn't meant to be a "hot" Blog spot, or an attempt to be heard, but rather has become a place for me to share, to be heard, and to remember the things that make me happy and make me feel alive.
