How did we get here?Does it work?
Is it good?
![Page 17: Teaching and Learning when everybody has a computer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/5681593e550346895dc67d28/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How did we get here?Does it work?
Is it good?But but but but but…what about
this? And that and you could never do THAT…and what about this concern and that problem and this danger and on and on
and on.

Our committee of teachers had a million questions. Then we helped to plan an inservice for our staff in May.

After the inservice we still had a million questions.Were we going to try being a school like Poston Butte?
![Page 35: Teaching and Learning when everybody has a computer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/5681593e550346895dc67d28/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

I was given a cart of 24 netbooks to use to figure out how to try teaching in a blended learning environment.
Better learn to set up a website or three

I started to write a bit and post it on this site. I started to develop a web presence. This made it real for me.
![Page 48: Teaching and Learning when everybody has a computer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/5681593e550346895dc67d28/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Joining Twitter was a big
step. I only did it because
my Dad pressured me into
it.
![Page 50: Teaching and Learning when everybody has a computer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/5681593e550346895dc67d28/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

TweetDeck helped me to
make sense of Twitter and
get more out of it. 1000’s of
teachers share ideas on
Twitter- I’d never find this
stuff in a Google search.
![Page 53: Teaching and Learning when everybody has a computer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/5681593e550346895dc67d28/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
So I started to develop a Personal Learning Network out of necessity. I had no idea what a PLN was until I discovered someone “tweeting” about PLN’s one day.
![Page 54: Teaching and Learning when everybody has a computer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/5681593e550346895dc67d28/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

And my own learning started to be layered- I started to feel like I knew a few things- had a few things to offer to others, and that was good, because the year at Dakota was all about experimenting and preparing the staff for changes that were on the horizon.

So my students started
handing in assignments on-
line as email attachments.
![Page 58: Teaching and Learning when everybody has a computer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/5681593e550346895dc67d28/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
So my students started
handing in assignments on-
line as email attachments.
I struggled to figure out how
to grade & assess without
any paper handy.
![Page 59: Teaching and Learning when everybody has a computer](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/5681593e550346895dc67d28/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
I discovered the
power of a rolling
chair for formative
assessment.

I still teach like this for
the first bit of the period

But now most
of the period is
with individuals
