Have you been BACK to School lately?

 

It has been a rewarding and totally interesting experience to be part of a Middle School

classroom. There have been many changes that have occurred since the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Our students have begun to us their laptops as “second nature”. Many of us were using Google

Classroom before, it is now expanded and more user friendly for teachers and students.

Our students are doing many multi-media presentations using their laptops. There is a plethora of sites

available where they can find graphics and photos in order to complete their projects.

Students can also evaluate and score their lessons in Google Classroom.

Yes, each district may limit availability of some sites for student protection, but most students have

what they would need.

Some things have not changed. Some students forget their laptops, some forget their

chargers. Others may state they cannot find their lessons! We are in the classroom after all.

I implore you to visit a classroom. Students from grade 1 to 12 are effectively using technology to

progress in their learning. 

Anytime you visit a classroom and help a teacher, it qualifies for THAT (teachers helping another

teacher) hours. THAT is a very important part of Delta Kappa Gamma. Be sure to submit your THAT 

hours online!

See you at SCHOOL!

The support team for Emerging Professionals has had a very busy and enlightening biennium.

I've been teaching Middle School math for 9 years but I started out as an early elementary teacher so that I wouldn't have to teach, what I considered to be, "math". After teaching 2nd grade in Florida, and through lots of twists and turns, I was offered a teaching job in Oakland, California in January of 2015. I took over a 5/6 GATE class and 6th grade math after their teacher had left in November. I began taking as many math courses as I could from City College of San Francisco and ended up...
