Technology

The technology was pretty readily available at the school I did my student teaching at. There were two laptop carts (25 computers per cart). They are also in the process of getting an iPad cart (25 of them). Each classroom has about 4-5 computers. My classroom in particular had four. I think that my CT could have used technology in a much better way, being way more effective. My CT was very "old school". He actually criticized me for using the SmartBoard too often....

Pre-service teaching

How fast did these past five weeks go by?! It was a whirlwind of emotions, but a great experience. There were many conflicts with my CT and a few rough patches, however I learned more than I thought I would! My FS was great and extremely helpful. The kids were challenging but awesome. I created good bonds with many students and hope I made an impact on others. 

Through coaching the girls grade 7&8 volleyball team, I connected with students that I don't think I would have if I didn't coach. I really enjoyed it and am continuing to coach until the end of the season. I definitely hope to get the chance to coach in the future!
