What's up with this weather?

I was trapped at home on Monday due to bad roads and my car not starting (even though it was plugged in, I might add). I panicked a little bit when I realized that I may not be able to make it to class because our class time is limited and I knew that I would be missing out on valuable information.
That's where the beauty of technology comes in. I was able to work on a few of my projects at home and not feel as if I was too far behind. No matter where you are, if you have access to the internet, you can stay connected. 
As a teacher, technology works in our favour for a couple reasons. One, you can stay connected with your school, even when you have to stay home due to weather or illness. Two, if students are unable to attend school they can access the class website to find out what work they missed.
That's my thought of the week....technology allows us to stay connected even when you physically can't be there.

  1. So true - and so many ways to do so - class web site, blog, google drive - you can even get kids to skype in to chat if they are away for a prolonged time.
