We are wrapping up our training in Pitt. I have learned a lot, and I feel better prepared for the job. It is overwhelming with respect to the amount of work that needs to be done with facilitating a course, preparing research, attending the training, etc. I will get it done. I am anxious to get my teachers involved so that we can collaborate and increase our knowledge base together. I got my chance to use a Promethean board, and I like it. I am concerned about how people will use the boards. My fear is that they will become a glorified screen instead of an interactive tool. I am going to have to collaborate and come up with ideas to help them integrate it into the classroom. Yes, it does change how we teach, but when I really look at it, it is no different than innovations that were brought into the classroom before. A great challenge for all of us.
