This is my 4th year teaching in a school district outside of Chicago. I was lucky to get a job as soon as I graduated college. Although I have been teaching first grade these past four year I am not yet an expert. Sometimes I wonder if any educator ever truly masters a grade level when change is so prevalent in the education system.
Things are changing drastically in our classrooms. Teachers are told that kids are learning differently than they did growing up. Children's brains are actually thought to be wired in a new way due to the technology and modern things they are exposed to. As the children change, we as teachers are expected to change as well.
Tomorrow, I will be starting a new adventure. I will be teaching a classroom with 28 computers and 28 students. I will be teaching in a 1:1 classroom. Join me on my journey with my first graders as we learn how to integrate this wonderful technology into our classroom.
