Learning can come from unexpected places!

I knew that by joining TEAM that I would be learning a great deal from the professors, but what I did not expect was to learn from my peers. After speaking to and viewing the blogs and classroom websites of some of my peers I am awed by what I have seen. Maybe because my district is a little "behind the times" when it comes to technology, but I can't believe how my fellow teachers in other districts are using technology in their classrooms. Some of you are doing things with eboards that I never even dreamed about. I love some of the ideas that I've picked up by viewing class websites and can't wait to encorporate them into my website. Just being able to share and collaborate ideas with my peers each week I've picked up a great free site that I never heard of called Photostory. Since then I've shown many teachers in my school what I have learned. I am really glad I decided to take this course.

I am pleased with the program as well. In other programs I've attended peer learning was part of the objective, but not like this. It went more like each student had 20 minutes during the semester. In Team, I really like how we all are learning from each other, almost daily!

I feel the same. I am hoping to bring some of the technology that our peers are already using into my district.

Milagros - You are going to be a leader in your school! You have such a desire to learn and it is wonderful that you are learning from your 'teammates'! That's why we're called TEAM.
