J Portfolio for J. Chadwick British Columbia, Canada Grade 1/2/3 Reading Intervention teacher twitter: @inspire_readers

I am not a new teacher (teaching 8 years) but I LOVE learning new things,especially technology ideas that will help engage and motivate my students. I have been using technology (Powerpoint, the internet etc.) since I started teaching, but now realize I had just touched the surface with what is out there now. I have been using the internet for over 15 years. I used it back in high school (1995) when it was IRC chats etc. I was introduced through my Social Studies class when we did a project with other countries through IRC chat; I remember being HIGHLY engaged. Today the internet has come a long way and I have let my knowledge fall a bit behind…so here I am. Yesterday I figured out Wiki for the first time and created a page (hope I did it all properly), and joined Twitter a week or so ago. I am having a great deal of fun meeting new people and getting great ideas I can use in September. I am excited to be back in it! Thank you for having boot camps and giving us an opportunity to collaborate and learn J
