Social Media can be such a positive tool to use in and outside the classroom.   However, teaching students to use this tool in a proper manner and with adequate morals is quite a task.    However, social media is an important real life opportunity and normalcy.   For teachers, it gives us an opportunity to collaborate with professionals, teachers and other resources to enhance our teaching skills.  For students, social media is also and opportunity to collaborate with students on projects, communicate with other students from around the world, chat with professionals such as doctors, scientists, historians, and authors.  However, it is hard to use social media and compete with pictures taken in the restroom!

This summer has been incredible!  I have learned so much about something that I use everyday–every second!  Teamwork and leadership skills are so important to be productive, not only successful but productive.

We take electricity for granted.  Through my experience, I will be able to take my students on a “energy journey”   from generating to delivery.  I have experienced first hand from the paperwork to the connection!  I want my students to come to class prepared to learn more tomorrow than they did today!!!
