I am Ms. Blair, teacher of a Kindergarten class and I am enjoying using technology within my classroom. At first I was overwhelmed because I was not exposed to technology in my teaching career over the past 20 years. In past years, my use of technology was to pay my bills online, send and receive emails , and access to facebook.

However, fortunately and unfortunately I am employed in a school that requires me to become technologically savvy. Since we are living in a technological age I think it is my responsibility to learn the most I possibly can to become equipped with the necessary skills and strategies that are necessary for this 21st century.

Thus I sacrifice one Saturday per month and seek the opportunity to acquire the technology necessary for the use in the classroom. This was provided by my school, through the NYIT, and the facilitator was Mr. Martinez. I have learned some technology but I am still work in progress. Learning more is my objective in the proceeding years.

I have been employed with the Department of Education of New York City for 10 years within 2 schools. This is my 8th years in my second school.
