What I am learning...

Photo by Kathy Kellen

I am learning so much more than just technology and educational theories....
I am learning that people I've never been physically in the same room with, are now virtually among those who know me best!
I am learning that I still have control issues....and that my FSO work is something I can control when other areas of my life I have no choice but to leave in God's hands....
I am learning that some people in my life are supportive and excited about the changes I am experiencing, while others (sadly) are not....
I am learning that there are worlds to explore that I never imagined....
I am learning to be comfortable with who I am....on camera, and off......
I am learning that connections are vital....
I am learning........and loving my FSO journey!

Interview with Renee Hanson (for TMD interview video assignment)

Integrating Technology

This is one of my kindergarten music classes experiencing "Music Warms the Heart" on Storybird.com and then singing with the words projected on the wall. Just a side note: the other day one of my little guys who often has a hard time following directions came in, saw the projector and said, "Mrs. Kellen, do we get to have a storybird today????" He was so excited when I said yes, and sat glued to it through the whole story! SUCCESS!!! I found something he gets excited about and sits still for, and speaks to his style of learning! :)
