This is a brand new year and I started this school year integrating effective teaching strategies that I learned from the Kenan Fellows Program PD.

My  first week back to school was full but I had the chance to conduct a professional development for my colleagues about integrating technology in teaching. I did a school-wide PD called “More Than a Smartboard”. I shared with my colleagues what I learned about integrating technology in teaching and also ways to improve student learning.

I also planned to utilize what I learned about Discovery Learning Techbook during the KFP PD at NCCAT. This year, my class will pilot using Discovery Learning Techbook. My class will use the Techbook all the time during and after school mostly in completing their assignments, classworks and projects.

I also applied what I learned from the Science House about safety in doing laboratory experiments. This year, as the school’s chemical hygiene officer, all our staff along with my students will have better awareness about Chemical Hygiene Safety.
