When asked, “how are you going to use it [the surface] with your students”, this is how I replied: “@blutz01 @Microsoft @MSTacademies @SEPAECT I teach an #MSApps class that will demo the @surface & now inc @msonenote #MSmix @windowsstore“. I feel like this will be a step in the right direction for me and has re-ignited me as a solid Microsoft user.
It all started when I went to a Microsoft Teaching Academy last week. My ISTE affiliate group, PAECT, informed me of the event. A colleague (and dubbed mentor) strongly suggested that this professional development day was important so I jumped at the opportunity.
In short, I networked, learned about some cool Microsoft technology and won a new Microsoft Surface Pro 3. My goal is to use this Surface with all students to enable them to learn all of the things I was exposed to during the Academy and more. I’ll start by introducing Microsoft OneNote and following with Mix. These steps will easily incorporate with my pre-planned MS Apps class. Additionally, I will work to get them registered Microsoft accounts so they may access the Windows Store because they need to know all of the cool things that Microsoft has to offer.
Still learning...
