Developing a PLN

I am starting to get more involved through my Twitter account.  

I have mostly been a lurker on Twitter.  I am starting to find myself following more and more educators that are working with Seesaw.  I want to know more and possibly get comfortable enough to share what I'm doing in my classroom.  I also see many Seesaw online workshops and I will be taking full advantage of these opportunities.


I haven't gotten much time this week to get into my PLN and start really working on developing my interests due to having the flu all week! (boo!)

The Changing Classroom!

I am Stacy Altieri, a kindergarten teacher at Martin Luther King Jr. School 9 in the Rochester City School District.  I have been teaching for over 21 years!  I remember when the first smart board was introduced with a large roll in screen and a projector...I couldn't wait to try it out!  Now we have chrome books with touchscreens, ipads, and document cameras that replaced the old overhead projectors.  We use our cell phones to gather information and stay in touch with people all over the world!  My own children have never even used a rotary phone and had to stay within the length restriction of the coiled handset.  I watch movies in 3D at home and even can read my email on the TV screen in my living room!

In today's changing world we have to continue to stay up to date with the technology that is pushing into our classrooms and lives and pushing us as educators!

I hope to learn as much as I can from my peers about what technologies are out there and what will enhance my teaching and my student's learning!

In my spare time I will continue to craft away!  I love crafting and baking!  I spend weekends at craft fairs or baking for special occasions. Hopefully I don't ever find this on Pinterest fails!

Technology is taking a hold of our classrooms and needs to be interwoven into our work and the students work! Students explore sights like PBSkids and Starfall, but I am moving to integrating and having students independently work with technology to improve their learning. We have grown and I can't wait to share the many ways we incorporate technology into our classroom daily at centers and through lessons. Excited to share our Journey! I've included a link to an article I found supportive to my journey..http://www.teachhub.com/12-easy-ways-use-technology-your-classroom-even-technophobic-teachers.
