After 13 years in the public school system, having numerous jobs, I was handed the job of my dreams! Or so I thought... I am now the Computer Lab Facilitator at my school. I have wanted this job for years! Well, now it's mine (thank you Mr. Williams!) and I am clueless! There has been no one in our lab full time for the last 5 years. I have to start from scratch figuring out what to teach Kinders through 5th grade. HUH?? There's not a lesson plan, an idea, a book, NOTHING to help. It's sink or swim time now.
I started off doing a ton of research on the internet and found a wonderful site called Elementary Tech Teachers. That site was and continues to be a great source of help for me. There were lesson ideas, tried and true methods for grade level teaching, websites, and much more. I thought this would be a piece of cake. WRONG! The workdays went by too fast and you know, it doesn't matter how much you have planned, you are never ready to teach your first class ever!
I did manage to make it through the first week of school with a modicum of sanity but it's going to be a looong year!
Oh yea, I did manage to survive an earthquake and hurricane in the same week. There is HOPE after all. :o)
