Pre-Conference Thoughts...

to the tune of My Favorite Things:

Facebook and twitter and blogging online,
Trying new things for the very first time,
Thoughts moving quickly as my head rings,
These are a few of our NATE tech things.

We've just begun, once we get done,
we'll be full of pride,
We will be grateful for all that we learned,
And glad to be on this ride.

Thank you Lisa!

NATE Seattle PreConference Boot Camp

Today has been a very busy day. I have tweeted for the very first time in over a year. I learned about hash-marks and all about facebook, beyond what I already knew. Now, I am blogging for the first time. And the conference has not even begun yet!! I am anxious to see how I can integrate this information into my own work. I am also hopeful I will find some true partners in my setting who will be able to help with this very daunting task of integrating these tools in the work we do! Looking forward to the rest of the week.

Pre-Conference Boot Camp

While I am not dressed for boot camp and not in shape to finish a boot camp, I am thoroughly enjoying this day. I have already added a new facebook page for our religious school, separate from our synagogue's page and youth group page. I have learned how to send specific groups a post without sending it to everyone so I can inform my friends without informing my students. Now I have the pleasure of writing my first blog post. Question, why do I need a blog if I update our religious school website daily? Most excited to learn about tweeting.
