Glad to be back as a support mentor!

I was waiting for an opportunity to be a mentor for so long, my beard grew out!

I have been using technology in the classroom since at least 2000, some years more than others. This year I'm actually doing less than in most previous years because I've had a change of classroom and don't have any computers set up for students in the room. Our class schedule also changed, so instead of five 4 hour-a-day class sessions, we now have two two hour sessions (different classes). This means a lot less time for projects and activities that take a longer time.

I have to rethink my previous technology use strategies once again. We're also moving sites in November, so there's not much point in setting up computers only to have to take them down in a few weeks.

1) I don't use much technology with my students this semester. 2) My father has a Mexican birth certificate.
