Well, I have finally gone and done it… started a graduate school program.  With the option of distance learning and completing the coursework online, it’s the perfect fit.  The classroom environment is certainly different online, but the students are enthusiastic and bring a wealth of knowledge to the class.  I am looking forward to interacting and hearing what others think and what they are doing in their own schools.

This is my first assignment for class 6008 – a blog.  I am excited about working with all these new tools (OK, some are new to me) and bringing them back to students.  I am a brand-new Technology Integration Specialist at a private school for grades K-8 in New England.  My background is in the business world where I was a PC/IT Specialist and Network Technician.  Now it’s off to the education sector (where I have always wanted to be)!  I am interested in how technology is being used in other schools, success stories, pitfalls to watch out for, innovative and creative ways of using technology, etc.

Off and running…
