WELCOME to our online learning community, //Technology Across BISD//.

This wiki is designed to help facilitate the use and integration of technology throughout our campuses. We will have a discussion/suggestion page so that we can help each other learn and improve professionally.

At the beginning most of my data and questions will reflect Fabra Elementary. During my Foundations of Educational Technology class, I have chosen Fabra to be my "home" campus. Please understand that my goal for this wiki and online learning community will be to broaden the focus to all campuses. As members join I will create a list on the home page so that we can each know who is in our community. I have the wonderful privilege to know many teachers throughout the district. I want to include as many as would like to join. This will be a way to learn from others! You never know who will have the idea you are looking for.

Purpose: Find new ways to integrate technology in our curriculum. ( Please see the blog [|www.sarabaragona.blogspot.com] to see a presentation of Texas STaR Chart data for Fabra Elementary.)

Discussion Question: How do you use technology in your content area on a daily basis? On a weekly basis?

Daily use in all my classes as my curriculum is built around it. The question I would pose is when is too much, too much. My principal down-checked me on an evaluation because I use too much technology. - Luis San Roman
 * Luis: I almost cannot believe your principal. Did he say what his definition of "too much technology" was? I believe that as long as the technology is seamless and the TEKS are being met there is not too much technology. I know that our evaluations are important- I try to not put too much importance on mine. I know that my agenda is for my kids; if I please admin while working on behalf of my kids, great, if not, so be it. He would benefit from this class, wouldn't you think? I see and have seen principals with that mindset. I've decided that I will not let the minds of that particular kind of digital immigrant stop me from the job that I have to do which is preparing my kids for their future. - Ruth Adame**
