Right now I see where a few things need to be changed. I really need to read the Middle School technology TEKS to be certain. I definitely need to spend more time reading and interpretting them.

Oh I am truly loving this. I am soaking up all the new ways to vamp our lessons and use more technology. I think our students will soar with all the new tools we are being shown. I already know of several lessons that can be boosted up using technology.

I found the morning very useful. Jeff and Teresa are great to share all of these ideas with us. I find this so exciting, because we are bringing our kids up the cutting edge of technology.

It's always a good idea to have a set of your TEKS in front of you for any lesson planning. Material from Birdville (Scope and Sequence) will be lots of help.

Another great session! I am very thankful that Teela has so many smart Techie friends who are willing to come help us out.

Even though I have read the Tech TEKS before, it was good to look at them again with our content area and see how they can melt together. I think that some of the things that I have taught in my PDIP classes will now have a place in the classroom, as well as push us as a campus and as individual teachers to reach for the stars.

I am trying to think of ways to involve my lowest level students. I am excited about using this new information.

I need to spend time researching and studying the technology TEKS and aligning them with my curriculum TEKS in my subject areas. I enjoyed time looking over my curriculum TEKS and getting ideas on how I might use technology with particular lessons/TEKS.

I am so grateful for these wonderful speakers that the Triple T's have brought in. It is so fun today to actually visualize and have hands on training for what we can actually do in the classroom. I have learned so much today.
Thanks Jeff and Teresa for all the motivation and willingness to share all this great stuff with us...

It was great to look at the TEKS and see how many things lend themselves to using the technology we have been learning about. There were a lot more than I thought there were! Even in little ways, technology can be integrated in so many things we teach!

Using technology to "teach" the TEKS will be so much better because the students will "discover" instead of me directing!

It was very helpful to have the Technology TEKS to integrate with our LA TEKS. I am looking forward to using more technology with my students to motivate them to read and write more.

This morning was very good. We knew some of this, but it made it more applicable and realistic! Working as a team makes all of this workable. Thank you! All the presenters are wonderful!

This was very interesting and will definately help me as I begin. I will be able to think of integrating technology with each lesson. I love all of the new ideas and can't wait to put it all together. Thank you to all of these great presenters from BISD.

Integration with Technology is really necessary in the world of computers in the classroom. Another morning of wonderful speakers. I think working with the TEKS and technology applications will be very valuable.

It was very valuable to have time to work on integrating our TEKS. Once school starts and we get underway I hope to be able to use all these great tools in our lessons.

Endless possibilities! Rubistar appears to be a wonderful tool and I am very grateful that the wonderful speakers from Birdville are so willing to share.
