DAZED AND CONFUSED

Jean2 speaking....I just got back from one of my eMINTS training sessions. This makes for a 12 hour day. And a cranky me. My DH told me very nicely this morning he wants me to go to bed early tonight-my reply...WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN?? Like his comments will put me in a better mood. GEEZ!

(Jean 1 has been here to make paragraphs for Jean 2..fear not)
I will tell you I know when to separate paragraphs being of the utmost intelligence however blogger will not let me. Other bloggers can make lists and create new lines-I can't. So-you have to deal with my rambling or give me some help.

Back to the title-DAZED AND CONFUSED-that is how I feel after an eMINTS training session. This is where I am trained to teach technology in my classroom. I have learned so much but I am for sure the LEAST techno savvy person in the sessions. The others are very helpful to me which I greatly appreciate and my trainer is the best. But sometimes I just feel so OVERWHELMED. This semester we are working on creating our own websites and webquests. And I have a grad credit class I am taking that will require this of me also. As I sat there lost tonight while our patient trainer was speaking, I am often reminded God must put me in these situations so I will know how some of my students feel. That is part of what makes me a good teacher-I UNDERSTAND when they DO NOT understand. I have been there-done that. However, I am not proud but my patience can wear thin even knowing how they feel. I am trying to take *one day at a time* and remember that God doesn't give me anything I can't handle. He will always give us the strength and ability to overcome it. So I lean on that. I share this with my eMINTS group. They laugh and all agree. We are a great team and I appreciate all their help and patience. But FOR ONCE, I would like to be the one that wasn't ....DAZED AND CONFUSED!!

God bless all the technos-Jean 1-cheers to you!! Stacey-no more hair flips for eMINTS until I create my website! :)
