Well, when I found out last year that I was one of four teachers given the privilege of piloting a class set of tablets I was thrilled. I did not anticipate however that I would have tablets and be without WIFI. Trying to be positive and a role model for the glass is half full, I have focused on preparing my students for working with such technology. Today, I found out that WIFI is back on track and will be ready in about a month. That is ok because my kids will be ready in about a month. I realize that this technology will bring about challenges but I embrace those due to the many opportunities. My students are eager to use my school website to download notes, assignments, videos, and handouts. They are also able to utilize Quizlet from my site so they may practice academic vocabulary. We will begin utilizing Learning Upgrade this Friday to strengthen math skills on a personalized student path. My students love this software but complain about the "nerdy" music. Yet, I am plagued with hearing them hum those silly tones while they complete their work. So, while we are in the emerging stages of paperless - we are working with what we have. Here is a video I showed for order of operations...I regret ever hearing this tune!
