Biography of a
"Computer Aide"...aka
"Miss Donna"
Thomasson
This a picture of me with our students' best friend from
BrainPop... " Moby "... this was taken in Austin, Texas in February
2008 at the TCEA Convention. This is held once a year to showcase all
the new technology for schools. There is so much technology invented
for our students. I wish I had a million dollars to spend. From the new
Smartboards (we now have 3 of these) and new software that make learning
fun. This is an exciting time to be involved with technology!!!
This year I have notified parents about their
child(ren) if they are running out of money or have charges in the
cafeteria. The children have so much on their minds; they tend to forget
to tell their parents they are out of lunch money. Our teachers e-mail the
parents of their students about wonderful things their child(ren) have
done as well as difficulties that come up during a normal school day.
Isn't technology wonderful? I have the students twice a week for 30
minutes. We cram a lot into that 30 minutes. The students are eager to
learn, and sometimes they teach me!
