Welcome to the Decatur Jump Journal!
Welcome to the Decatur ISD Jump Journal, the online reflection component of our "jump" forward in Technology. This Blog has been designed as an online tool to allow teachers participating in the program to reflect on their activities.

I have lots of ideas for a plan. Problem is, I know there is still limited time to get a project completed. The most important thing I have learned today, is that we will have to start with baby steps. We can not feesibly work all of this info into the classroom all at once. I know now for sure, we must let the students be more involved. Wes Fryer was so right about the students being able to teach us things. We just need to listen.
Even thought we didn't get to finish our session on blogging, I was able to create one from home. I hope to use it as another tool to communicate with parents and mainly students. I'm hoping to learn to fine tune it as I go.
I am thinking of several ways to use the technology that we have learned about, but my concern is that I will be on the computer a lot more reading blogs, etc, and also not have the time to set up time and opportunities for all of my students.
I have lots of plans and ideas. I am hoping to inspire my campus to use more technology in their classroom. I am excited about teaching and letting the kids explore with blogs and imovie.
I'm so excited about blogging. I hope my students will be too.
I have many ideas about podcasting and the use of technology in the GT program. I know it will take some small steps to get it where I desire. I just know Teela will spend the next couple of weeks making sure Ty knows all about podcasting, wikis, and blogs so he can assist me !
I have lots of plans. Looking at the TEKS helped us to come up with many ideas. Hopefully several of them will work for us. Just having time to work it out and mostly get comfortable doing more Technology.
Blogging reminds me of what I think we called a message board where in my lit courses we had to make a comment on what we read and then make so many comments on what others wrote. I think it is remarkable that 5th graders will be doing this. The student can get an entirely new insite from reading what others write. I am going to work on setting up my own blog page this weekend since we couldn't accomplish this yesterday due to unforeseen circumstances.
I am so excited but also anxious about implementing my plans. Time and my own understanding are my greatest concerns.
Setting up our blog was so much fun. Thank you Randy. I have already planned to use my blog to communicate with my classroom. My greatest concern is having time to implement so much of this new info. However, it made me feel so much better to hear the presenters say to just use little pieces at a time so we aren't overwhelmed. Thank you for that reminder.
My greatest concern for my plan is interpreting those TEKS for Tech. They are so vague, it might take two or three minds to interpret them!
