Podcast Reflection #3: Driving Question: Kimberly Wright

Kimberly wright teaches science and technology to 60 fourth graders everyday. During her first year of teaching she was all about power points but soon enough she moved on to video conferences and pod-casting. When she began teaching she was not tech savvy but because she was at such a young age people though the contrary. When she got her first classroom she found a cart with many technology related materials such as cam recorders and cameras which she took advantage of. Later on she decided to attend conferences and see what other teachers where doing in their classroom. This way she build a network and learn how to use technology in her classroom. She also learned that to make both, the administration and the students, happy she needed to use technology which helped her bring up scores and keep her engaged. She is currently trying to expand her wings and help other teachers become familiar with technology. Technology has opened many doors that does not limit her classroom to what she knows but what the world knows.
