This is my first time blogging. I'm not quite sure what's going on but here goes!
My name is Patti Seltzer. I teach 3rd grade at School #9 Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary. I am not brand new to using technology in my classroom, but I am a slow mover. I have used many apps with my class such as reading and math support/programs. I have created a Google classroom this year. I've made assignments, embedding links, for the kids to go in and use. I've created tests and created writing assignments. My students love doing their writing pieces in classroom. They are learning Tynker (me too) and like playing around with it.
I guess my goal with this CLC is to become stronger in my use of technology with my students. I'd like to learn more uses and refine what I already use. I have a passion for creating lessons and units that my students really like to do. My fears would include creating a great lesson and then losing it somewhere in the clouds. I also hate creating assignments, thinking they are ready to go for the kids, and then when they go to the assignments there are glitches. I guess I will learn through these mistakes.
I also have a life out of school (which is hard to notice at times) that includes my daughter and son. Sarah is 29 and planning a wedding for May of 2018. Matthew is 22 and is new to the work force. He still lives with his mommy and I'm good with it (for the time being!!)

I also enjoy reading, reality shows, and doing things with my friends! One of my favorite reality shows is Survivor...I've watched it since it began! This is Season 34!!
I really look forward to learning more about this blogging thing and finding my voice and purpose for blogging. Combining my role as a teacher with this blogging thing is exciting and nerve-tickling. It should be interesting!
