I was so enlightened the other day! I was working with my CT in math and mentioned that while creating lesson plans, i found that there were virtual manipulatives to play with on the computer. She shocked me to say that her (kindergarten) class has already worked with them! I further asked about other technology-related activities she has done with her class and was really surprised to see that they have done a lot. This made me feel very old, especially after completing the tech inventory, because our generation did not work with as much technology as these kids are working with now. I just finished writing 2 math lesson plans and am currently planning a science circus with andrew and charlotte. We will see how this goes, and I'll be updating about it soon!

Looking forward to hearing more about the technology you are seeing.
Hi!
I had pointed one of the other student's in your class to this resource:

From your post I thought that this list of interactive tools that can be used with students might appeal to you. Which ones do you think you might like to use with students? There are so many resources that are available now and they just keep being developed. Don't feel old, feel excited! Just think how much there is out there to explore and you can learn right along with the kids! That's the best part- you can become quite a learning team as you all become "enlightened"! Sounds like you are preparing some exciting lessons- a science circus - I like the sound of it!
Best,
Anne
