Sue Pace Name: Sue Pace Location: Santa Ana College Centennial Education Center Beginning One ESL Fall project: A Newbie ’ s Journey with Technology. The project was perfectly described as playing in a sandbox and taking risks. Both higher and lower level Beginning One students with no computer experience were so amazingly accepting of using each new form of technology. I gave them a safe place to take risks. We would repeat in unison that mistakes were no problem. I learned to give myself the same permission to make mistakes. Lessons became richer with technology. If students got stuck, we used Smart Board ’ s Notebook to move around words to understand a grammar point. We applied a lesson ’ s vocabulary by students making quia games and shopping online for clothing and food.

What I did
Developed goals after getting participants
Sent out regular emails reminding everyone what to do
Allowed for free flow of ideas within the constraints
Participated in the process!

What I learned
Send out regular emails
Don’t over organize
Don’t force people to work together
It is not about how much money you spend on the training!
Create partnerships with other agencies
