I got through week 4 just fine considering that we had five bomb threats in six days. I got to see technology in use by everyone. Administration on the radios, teachers and students alike on their cell phones communicating with the community.
I took out my iPod touch and answered trivia with other teachers. Some students played their mp3 players while others surfed the net to try to get information about what was going on.
I can just imagine the amount of e-mails that were transmitted to family and loved ones. I was very happy to have technology with me on those days!
Oh! I needed to add that I am exploring my smart board with great success.

Wow Ingrid, what a week!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about how technology is so important in an emergency situation at a school. Thanks for bringing that up.
May you have a quieter week this week :D

But, Ingrid, how can you tell us that you had 5 bomb threats in 6 days, and then just leave us hangin'? I, for one, would appreciate some detail: who, why, how, etc. LOL! Just kidding..
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right, the ability to communicate, especially during a crisis situation, is one of the best things about all these cool technologies.
I'm glad you're finding success with your smartboard, and I hope the school finds peace!
Best, Jennie
