Blog 1: Welcome blog

Welcome to my blog!
My name is Nancy and I teach U.S. History at Angleton High School.  This semester, I have the awesome task of piloting the use of iPads in my classroom.  I am excited about this technology adventure and hope that I can share my experience with you.
My personal goals for the pilot program are to create lessons that are more engaging for my students and allow them to work at higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy.  I want my students to be able to apply what they have learned in creative ways.  I would love to be able to create activities that allow them to use technology at home, but I worry that many of my students do not have access to the internet at home.  While everyone has a smart phone these days, I would bet that most of my students only have internet access at school when they can use the WiFi. 
I hope to share my experiences with those of you that choose to read this blog and look forward to getting feedback!  Thanks for joining me on this journey!!
