 * Field-based Activities Monthly Report - Part 2: Reflection **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">I feel that our district and especially our campus were fortunate to have Rick Martinez, Assistant Superintendent of Technology. He was instrumental in bringing our campus/district into the 21st century. We are a very small campus with only twenty-one teachers and very enriched with technology. Each grade level has two SmartBoards (with the exception of kinder), a mounted LCD projector, and every teacher has a laptop. We have clickers, a computer lab, a library research lab, RazKids, Study Island, and an A+ lab, yet technology is not being integrated into the curriculum. While exploring my SmartBoard resources I shared my findings with my coworker. My Principal walked in and sat in on the demonstration. Then I shared some of the sites fifth grade uses to enhance math, science, and reading skills. He asked why with all this technology the teachers are not utilizing the SmartBoards. I told him that there has never been continuous support; that we were given a one day training seminar and expected to use it. And when we approached our Curriculum Instructional Technologist (CIT) she would snap at us for not remembering how to operate the SmartBoard. So, our teachers got out of the habit of using technology. He asked me if I could demonstrate to the faculty what I had shared with him that afternoon. In January I presented a “SmartBoard Happy Hour” and demonstrated the Educator’s Essential tab and my favorite interactive sites. Now teachers want me to post on First Class interactive sites. I also invited the faculty to visit fifth grade’s folder on the shared drive. I have resources and sites categorized by subject.
