Two Technology Tools I Could Not Live Without


My day starts with the alarm going off on my Smartphone. The Smartphone allows me to maintain my bank, multiple email, calendar, and social networking accounts. My schedule does not allow me to be stationed in one place in the elementary building. The Smartphone alerts me to emails that contain trouble tickets that need to be addressed, educators that have questions, allows my administrator to locate if the need arises and of course connects me to family members. The calendar option reminds of daily tasks and appointments for the day. The banking app on my Smartphone has been a blessing. I am horrible at maintaining a check register and this app allows me to check my balances, pay bills, and transfer funds. Instead of carrying my digital camera I take pictures with my Smartphone.

The iPad allows me to read books, check in to Walden University, entertain my children and grandchildren, surf the internet, watch videos, listen to music, and bring up maps. The educational apps that are available for the iPad allow me to meet the needs of every type of learner. On long trips it is much easier to bring along the iPad rather than my laptop. The size of the iPad makes it extremely convenient to bring along. The iPad can be easily connected to the USB port in my car, which allows me to play the children’s favorite music.
