I moved to the classroom and middle school after over 20 years at the elementary school level as first a 3rd grade bilingual teacher and then a K-5 Educational Technology Coach. Amid the start of the pandemic, I realized that it was time for me to move back into the classroom and actually practice what I thought should be happening in classrooms. I wanted to integrate technology, create personalized learning environments, and connect with a diverse group of learners with all of the challenges that are part of the constant changes in the classroom.
The greatest challenge for me is that I run out of steam to actually document what is happening. So this is my reminder to myself that it is time to try harder so that I can look back at the ups and downs of this journey... even if it is the last few weeks of this school year.
