My principal has been very encouraging of my taking English 652. He’s a former business teacher, so he’s an advocate of incorporating technology into the classroom. I have shared with him during various meetings about the new ideas I have been learning about- wiki, blogging, MOOing, etc. He allegedly refers to my new knowledge with other departments- which is quite complimentary.
Therefore, I find it quite interesting that within the last week I have suddenly found a working LCD projector in my ceiling! I’m grateful, because now I don’t have to lug the portable one from the media center, move my computer to the middle of my room so that the cords will reach the overhead cart, and set it up the few times that I actually use it.
My principal has also assured me that I will be receiving a Smartboard by next fall, too. I can definitely see myself using more technology with these simple additions to my classroom. Admittedly I don’t use my computer often in teaching lessons, as it is a complete hassle getting the appropriate equipment (LCD projector). Obviously it’s common sense, but I’ll be much more likely to apply the great lessons I’ve been learning in English 652 when I have the proper tools at my disposal!
