Where has the time gone?! 

I have been out of the blog game for several years!  

So many things have changed over the past 4 years: 

My babies, I mean, middle schoolers...enough said!

 

I fell in love with & bought a new home. 🏡

We have a puppy!  Ahh a dog lol and are in the process of becoming fosters for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue which is an amazing organization so if you're an animal lover like me check them out! 

Some things, however, never change: 

I'm still teaching 1st grade (ahh my ❤️) and loving every minute of it. 

I've been using more and more technology in my classroom and I love it. Our littles need to be preparing for jobs and tech that hasn't even been created yet. An understanding of the digital world is vital to their success. 

Recently, I became a Seesaw Ambassador for my area. 

Let me say, if you haven't tried Seesaw yet you need to!  In a nutshell, Seesaw is a digital portfolio for student work where littles can create, upload, edit, encourage and question in a safe digital community (your class only!!) 

There are so many things I love about this app and I will be posting about that at a later date. 

For now, what tech do you find essential in your classroom when it comes to creating student initiated 21st century learning?
