First Day At The New Job!

Today was my official first day as a Technology Teacher! I am very excited about this position, and I feel more confident too. My classroom is not a traditional classroom with a white board, desks, etc. My classroom is way cooler in my opinion. My classroom is none other than the Computer Lab! I am excited at how it is going to look after I decorate it and all. Right now the computers that are in there are kind of old and slow, but the do work. My boss told me that those old computers are coming out and I will be getting brand new ones! There are other things in my room that are coming out as well like old computer screens or keyboards that don't work, overhead projectors that don't work and etc. That room was basically a storage for technological things that do not work or are old. I did get to meet some of the staff today as well. Everyone was really nice too. I met my mentor Carol who will be working with me and guiding me through this process. Carol was a Technology Teacher before, so I am excited to learn all I can from her. I met two other ladies that were with her who have been Technology Teachers as well. I can't remember their names, but they will be at the school to help me as well. All three ladies showed me some websites that I will be working with this school year. Some of them I am familiar with from working as a Teacher Assistant in IL. So that makes it easier for me. The ones that I am not familiar with, I will have to learn my way around.  I also met the Media Specialist. Mr. Ferrar. He is a very nice man who is very excited to have me working with him. The library and my classroom (The Computer Lab) are adjacent to each other, so we will see each other a lot.  So I spent the day checking all 18 computers and making sure they worked and all, meeting new staff, and learning the basics. I am coming back tomorrow to do some more work and cleaning. School starts next week, I hope I will be ready!
