What is your biggest takeaway from participating in BOAT this year? This could be your biggest "Aha" moment, favorite tool you've used, etc.
My biggest takeaway from participating in BOAT is really the reflection part. Reflecting on what I'm doing in the classroom and thinking about what I can do differently to make technology integration even better than what I've already been doing. I think that we've had a lot of great ideas shared and I've been able to consider ideas that I hadn't encountered before.
Some examples of great ideas I've heard were teachers talking about how they manage kids as they are using technology. I also think considering increasing communication and critical thinking through their technology is really helpful and great. I look forward to next year increasing where I am on the SAMR model because I feel that is a place I can really improve.
