Lenovo was new technology for me.  Over the course of this Fellowship, I have discovered that some of the most savvy technology users that I know, choose Lenovo.  I came to enjoy the tool, myself, and use it regularly for my own personal needs.  It’s versatility in mobile use as well as in desk top application were ideal for me!

But…here’s the rub.  I work in a district that is in its third year of 1:1 implementation with Apple.  All teachers and students in grades 6-12 have MacBook Air laptops.  For my district work, I must be using that technology in my classroom.  Since my Kenan Fellowship is through DPI for the purpose of building a unit for the middle grades ELA classroom using Common Core standards, that work needed to be done on the Mac, as well, for the ease of student accessibility.  So, I really can’t attest to the use of Lenovo for the purpose of completing my Fellowship Project.

That being said, I have used my Lenovo to access that work and share it with others as I’ve been out and about and working with Microsoft users.  That has been really nice!  It has made me a versatile technology practitioner, as well, which is a solid benefit both for Kenan and for my continued ambassadorship throughout NC.
