About me
Hi! I’m Ronna Roberson and I’m a technology teacher in a Colorado K-5 Core Knowledge school. I’m starting into my fourth year of teaching. Prior to teaching I worked as an IT consultant for Hewlett-Packard and Agilent Technologies. I started out in support services and ended with account management. When the IT sector took a plunge around 2003, I quit and stayed home with my two kids. After going crazy being at home while the kids were at school, I decided to volunteer in the computer lab at their school. The computer lab teacher decided to be principal, so they were interviewing for a replacement teacher. They didn’t want a certified teacher, so I interviewed (to keep my skills up) and got the job. I don’t get paid nearly what I used to, but I enjoy the kids and they teach me a lot!
I’ve setup this blog as a communication tool. I’m taking a Current Trends and Issues in Instructional Technology class at CU Denver. This blog is my introduction to an area I’ve never used before. This will be an exciting journey!!
Welcome!
Welcome to my Current Trends and Issues blog!
I will be posting updates on trends in technology mainly on elementary level topics. Each year I like to introduce a new project for each grade level. Over time I’ve started to use more of the technology gadgets that come up in the real world. The kids love it! I’m required to teach keyboarding starting in second grade, so any new trends in that area are of great interest to me.
Cheers!
