Middle School T.I.M.E.S. Technology Integration Made Easy & Simple Danita Russell – ITF Lee County Schools Volume 2, Issue 1 September 2007 [email_address] Welcome to a new school year!  I hope this newsletter finds you rested and excited about the upcoming year.  I look forward to working with you to make this a successful and rewarding school year. Many of us are intimidated and fearful of technology.  No need to be!  Together we can learn to use the resources to make our lives much easier.  Technology shouldn’t be something else added to your already full plate.  Instead, it allows you to reach more of  your students. The purpose of this monthly newsletter is to aid you in integrating technology into your lessons.  The content will vary slightly each month and hopefully you will find it useful as you try new ideas. I would love to include great technology lessons ideas from teachers.  Why don’t you send me yours? If you would like for me to help you plan a lesson, model a lesson for you, or anything else to assist you in integrating technology into your classroom – email me: [email_address] Technology Opportunities ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Middle School T.I.M.E.S.

WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN’T LOOKING By Mary Rita Schilke Korzan When you thought I wasn’t looking, you displayed my first report, and I wanted to do another. When you thought I wasn’t looking, you fed a stray cat, and I thought it was good to be kind to animals. When you thought I wasn’t looking, you gave me a sticker, and I knew that little things were special things. When you thought I wasn’t looking, you put your arm around me, and I felt loved. When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw tears come from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things hurt--but that it’s all right to cry. When you thought I wasn’t looking, you smiled, and it made me want to look that pretty too. When you thought I wasn’t looking, you cared, and I wanted to be everything I could be. When you thought I wasn’t looking--I looked...  and wanted to say thanks for all those things you did when you thought I wasn’t looking.  Words to leave with you ….. Have a great September!
