I just came back from listening to a small discussion on the MLTI (Maine Learning Technology Initiative, also known as the laptop plan). A teacher from PCMS spoke about their laptop program. Though I was one of the only students there (the rest was basically professors and teachers from the area), I learned a lot about how the laptop program could be initiated. It also reminded me how much I would like to be a technology coordinator for a school (ideally HA)… I’d love to help with this plan, even if I worked at a high school when only 7th and 8th grade Maine students get laptops. She was talking about some of the problems and troubleshooting, and it reminded me of the type of work I did at HA. I want to do that.
I’m in the education lab right now typing this, and I think I’m going to go outside until I have my new media class. It’s warm, it’s sunny, and I’ve been riding my bike around campus all day between classes.
