They believe their students see them as more professional. Everything I create is so much more professional and takes less time. I keep learning more all the time. Now I feel like a teacher of the 90's. Text-based curriculum is first strengthened by the use of technology, then replaced by more dynamic learning experiences.
Teachers save significant amounts of time on administrative tasks.
I'm constantly impressed with the speed and professional documents I can now produce. It can take four to six years before teachers become comfortable enough with computers to fully integrate them into their classrooms. I need only time to master those areas of Mac use which remain a blur or even a mystery to me. I am no longer afraid to experiment, but time is on my side. Time for learning remains a major problem for me with a full day of teaching and a busy family life at home.
